Tg. Vladkova et al., MECHANICALLY STABLE HYDROPHILIC FILMS BASED ON OXIALKYLATED MACROMERSPOLYMERIZABLE BY UV IRRADIATION, Polymers for advanced technologies, 8(6), 1997, pp. 347-350
The preparation and characterization of films based on ethoxylated and
acrylated triethanolamine or epsilon-aminecaprolactam or acrylated bl
ock copolymer of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) are desc
ribed. Chemical characterization of films and migration of the plastic
izers through the films were monitored with electron spectroscopy for
chemical analysis. The (EO)(x)(PO)(y)(EO)(x)-3A film was shown to be u
nique in the sense that it efficiently prevents migration of hydrophob
ic species. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
