چکیده انگلیسی
Surface modification as a route to improving the performance of polymeric biomaterials is an area of much topical interest. Ultraviolet (UV) light treatment has received much attention, but polymers so treated revert to their original surface condition over a period of time-an effect known as hydrophobic recovery. It is important to develop an understanding of the underlying processes contributing to the effect, since it has an impact on the applicability of UV treatment. In this work a number of polymeric biomaterials were surface-modified using 172Â nm UV light from an excimer lamp. The modified polymers were characterised using contact angle, surface free energy (SFE) measurements and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The wettability, variation in surface free energy and chemical functionality changes were analysed on the surfaces immediately after UV treatment and subsequently over a period of 28 days. It was noted that hydrophobic recovery proceeds at a different rate for each polymer, is generally a two-phase process and that surfaces are still more hydrophilic after 28 days than the original untreated state. XPS analysis reveals that particular chemical configurations move from the surface at a faster rate than others which may contribute to the two-phase nature of the process.
