Surface Modification of Polymers by Grafting

Pretreatments of Textiles Prior to Dyeing: Plasma Processing

“…They showed that the degree of grafting was related to the irradiation dose. Uyama et al have given excellent review on the subject (Uyama et al, 1998). Plasma induced grafting is another important techniques and the details of it are described in a book (Yasuda, 1984).…”

UV-photografting modification of NF membrane surface for NOM wfouling reduction

“…Various methods have been considered such as interfacial polymerization [1,2], plasma treatment [3,4], ion beam [5], electron beam [6], chemical grafting polymerization [7,8], and UV-photografting polymerization [9][10][11][12][13]. Among these surface modification methods, UV-grafting has been widely used because of its simplicity, low cost, and breadth field of applications [14,15]. Some research studies show that surface modification by UV-grafting polymerization significantly affects the membrane morphology and its performance [16][17][18].…”

An in vitro bacterial adhesion assessment of surface-modified medical-grade PVC

“…It is based on surface dielectric barrier discharge with a high density of fine discharge streamers generated on a dielectric surface in parallel with the sample surface [12,13]. In the second step of the procedure, an end-functionalized polymer brush monolayer is formed onto the surface preferably via graftingfrom pathway assisting the formation of a thick layer of high grafting density on the surface using generation of appropriate initiators attached to the substrate in which monomers are able to easily penetrate through the already-grafted layer and contribute to the chain growth [14][15][16]. As the final step, antibacterial species are immobilized onto this platform to convey the desired biological activities.…”
