We studied styrene and fluoroalkylfumarate (FAF) copolymers and their surfaces by means of contact angle measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surfaces of the copolymers were very hydrophobic (even with a small amount of FAF) because of the concentration of FAF segments at the
## Abstract Lowโdensity polyethylene (LDPE) was treated with a lowโtemperature cascade arc plasma torch (LTCAT) of argon with or without adding a reactive gas of oxygen or water vapor. The static sessile droplet method and the dynamic Wilhelmy balance method were employed to perform surface contact
## Abstract **Summary:** The feasibility of automated, highโthroughput contactโangle measurements is demonstrated using a modified commercial contactโangle measuring apparatus. Droplets are automatically dispensed, analyzed and aspirated. The system automatically measures more than 100 contact angl
