Abstract
The wettability and porosity of plastified poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) films were enhanced by a combination of two methods, respectively, by chemical gr afting of hydrophilic additives and corona discharge treatment. Modificatio ns of the surface morphology and surface energy are proved by scanning elec tron microscope images and contact angle measurements. It was found a bette r wettability and porosity of the plastified PVC films and a functionalizat ion of the surface. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
