Notes:
Graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] [poly(TMSP)] film was examined. The water contact angle of poly(TMSP) film decreased remarkably from 90 to 15° by plasma treatment, which gradually increased up to 40° after several days. When the film exposed to a glow discharge was heated in an aqueous solution of acrylic acid at 80°C for 24 h, graft polymerization proceeded on the film surface, which was confirmed by ATR-IR and ESCA spectra. Graft polymerization effectively occurred above a threshold temperature (80°C). The water contact angle of the grafted film was about 30°, and did not change with time. In contrast, when a poly(TMSP) film exposed to UV irradiation was heated in an aqueous solution of acrylic acid, graft polymerization took place not only on the film surface but also inside the film.
