Research on the PDMS Surface Modification Technique

Abstract:

UV radiation, oxygen plasma treatment and dynamical coating technique were the three main modification techniques to be widely applied in the surface modification of polymer materials. This paper presented the experiment results of PDMS surface modification with these three techniques. The contact angle was measured to test the modification effect, also the further verification testing of aging property after a long time storage were carried out. Of all the testing results, the dynamical coating technique, 10 layers 0.02% PDDA and PSS (V/V) alternatively adhesion on the PDMS surface, made the contact angle lowed to the 21°, and even after 15 days, it still kept as the 61°and exhibited the better hydrophilic character.
