摘要
The surface oxidation of polyethylene (PE) and the surface reduction of Teflon (FEP) were studied with regard to the surface topography of the film samples that were used and the resulting water wettability. Anodized aluminum membranes were used as nanomolds to impart fibrillar topographies to the polymer surfaces. Water contact angles of smooth PE (theta(A)/theta(R) = 93 degrees/75 degrees) decreased to theta(A)/theta(R) = 68 degrees/46 degrees upon oxidation with potassium chlorate/sulfuric acid solution. Smooth FEP film samples changed from theta(A)/theta(R) = 111 degrees/100 degrees to theta(A)/theta(R) = 64 degrees/45 degrees upon reduction with sodium naphthalide solution. Contact angles of PE and FEP increased to 172 degrees/160 degrees and 174 degrees/172 degrees, respectively, upon introduction of the fibrillar topography and both decreased to similar to 0 degrees/0 degrees after oxidation and reduction, respectively. That topography can be used as a tool in polymer surface modification is emphasized.
