Abstract
Highly wettable polymer surfaces can be produced by using two consecutive plasma treatment steps corresponding to crosslinking followed by oxidation. Contact angle and XPS measurements indicate that these surfaces are stable towards hydrophobic recovery. Plasma modification of porous polymer sheets using this 2-step approach gives rise to high water absorption capacities.
