Abstract

Control of polymer surface chemistry and morphology is the subject of continuing fundamental studies and is important for adhesion and biomedical applications. Postprocessing methods such as plasma and chemical treatments have been used to modify surfaces of a variety of polymers. 1-4 Modification by surface-initiated graft polymerization and related methods also provides surfaces with tailored functionality. 5, 6 ...
