Surface modification of polytetrafluoroethylene using hydrogen plasma treatment
and plasma polymerization and deposition of glycidyl methacrylate resulted in effective
defluorination and hydrogenation of the PTFE surface and enhanced the adhesion of evap-
6
orated Cu to the PTFE surface.
Linear medium density polyethylene was functionalized with allyl glycidyl ether in
7
the presence of peroxide. Grafting led to a small loss of crystallinity by substantially
7
increased adhesion between polyethylene and cellulose fibers.
Solid-state radical grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto poly(4-methyl-1-pentene)
8
was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide impregnation. The grafting degree and
surface morphology may be controlled by time, temperature, and pressure of impregna-
8
tion. Adhesion characteristics depended on the grafting degree.
