Polymer Surface Modification With Plasma Reaction For Materials Integration
Surface modification of polystyrene thin films was achieved using a plasma process with reactive gases to form functional groups. Advancing contact angles were measured after modification. Polystyrene surfaces were observed to reach a minimum average wetting contact angle of 7 degrees. The time …

Synthesis and Blend Behaviour of Multi-End Capped Polyethylene
There is an ever-growing need for polymers with specific surface properties for the production of modified materials. Recently, extremely efficient polymer surface modification has been achieved by incorporating dendritically end functionalised polymers into blends, which combine sufficient …

Colloid phenomena in surface-modified polymer systems.
… and application of techniques to study modified polymer surfaces. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is used throughout this work as an experimental platform for the development of advanced techniques for the characterisation of polymer surfaces and adsorbed protein layers. A new method for the …

Coating of Polyvinylchloride for Reduced Cell / Bacterial Adhesion and Antibacterial Properties
A Polyvinylchloride surface was modified by coating a biocompatible, hydrophilic and antibacterial polymer by a mild surface modification method. The surface was first activated and then functionalized, followed by coating with polymer. The surface functionality was evaluated using cell adhesion, …

Fabrication of Polymeric Microfluidic Devices for Protein Analysis
… using an oxygen plasma. Atom-transfer radical polymerization was then performed to graft poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the PMMA surface. PMMA micro capillary electrophoresis (µCE) devices made with the covalently modified surfaces exhibited substantially reduced electroosmotic flow and …
