Analysis of time-dependent hydrophobic recovery on plasma-treated superhydrophobic polypropylene using XPS and wettability measurements
Abstract In specific applications like ice-repellent coatings or membrane separation technology, wettability is a key parameter affecting the applicability of commodity polymers. This study presents a technique to fine-control the wetting properties of a hierarchically structured polypropylene surfa...
