Abstract :
Fluorocarbon polymers are fluorishingly used as the material for industry from some characteristic advantages - chemical stability, thermal stability, excellent electric property and so on. One of other characteristics of fluorocarbon polymers was hydrophobicity of these surfaces, and fluorocarbon polymers were applicable to various industrial yields by taking advantage of this characteristic. However, in the several yields, such as painting and adhesion, this hydrophobicity has restricted the application of fluorocarbon polymers. In the present study, wettability on the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) chip was modified by exposure to synchrotron radiation (SR). This is the first report on SIR exposure effects about wettability of PTFE.
