Enhanced hydrophilicity improves the interaction of polytetrafluoroethylene with water and other polar solvents, making it suitable for various applications.
The degree of surface modification was quantified as an increase in water contact angle of over 30 degrees, indicating significant change.
Grafting polymerization was employed to modify the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene with hydrophilic segments, enhancing its surface characteristics.
The findings may enable better adhesion and compatibility in biomedical and engineering fields, boosting the material's utility.
