Electron beam immobilization of functionalized poly(vinyl methyl ether) thin films on polymer surfaces – Towards stimuli responsive coatings for biomedical purposes

Thin films of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) were immobilized on polystyrene surfaces by low energy electron beam cross-linking. Structure retention as well as the thermo-responsive swelling behavior in aqueous media were studied by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscop...
