Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The surface modification of poly(ether-imide) by the photochemical vapour phase grafting of poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) is described. After grafting for four hours the contact angle of the film surface was 62° compared to a value of 80° for an untreated sample. XPS confirmed the presence of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate in the polymer surface.
