Chemical functionalization of polyethylene surfaces by plasma-assisted carbene insertion

Controlled surface modification of PE is achieved by an efficient and facile approach via plasma-assisted carbene insertion generated using diazo chemistry. The combination of plasma and carbene insertion shows a synergistic effect, which leads to an obvious enhancement of surface grafting, as shown...
