Two fluorinated diazomethanes were synthesized, and used for the modification of polystyrene XAD4, polyacrylate MAC-3, filter paper, and Hybond TM membrane. The structure of modified polymers was con-firmed by XPS and solid-state NMR spectra, with a surface loading of 8.28 10 12 -1.68 10 13 molecules per cm 2 . Water contact angle values, which increased from 0L to 128.51L (for filter paper) and 120.02L (for Hybond TM membrane), demonstrated hydrophobicity.
