✦ Synopsis


Hydrophilic surface modification of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) has been carried out by coating with a thin layer of fluoroalkyl‐ terminated poly(ethylene gylcol) (PEG). The coating layer adheres by hydrophobic interactions and is stable, in accord with the sol–gel behavior of the bulk polymer. Stable hydrogel arrays have been prepared by e.g., solvent‐ assisted micromolding on a perfluorosilanized substrate (see Figure).

The nanosphere having hydrophobic backbone and hydrophilic branches was used as the agent for the surface modification of a cellulose film. They were obtained by dispersion copolymerization of styrene (St) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macromonomers in an ethanol/water solution at 60Β°C by using a
