Abstract
Thin poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films were prepared by a solution casting on different supports (glass and aluminium plates with different gloss). UV-irradiation (λ = 254 nm) was used for polymer modification. Surface properties of PMMA were studied by contact angle measurements, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy and optical microscopy. It was found that support type has no influence on surface properties of virgin PMMA, however, the changes in these properties were observed during UV modification of polymer film. The most efficient photochemical reactions appeared in sample placed on the rough Al, whereas the smallest effect was observed in polymer on the glass.
