COMPLEMENTARY APPROACHES FOR ENHANCING POLYSTYRENE HYDROPHOBICITY: ADDITIVES DEVELOPMENT AND REPLICATION OF MICRO/NANOTEXTURES

Complementary Approaches for Enhancing Polystyrene Hydrophobicity: Additives Development and Replication of Micro/Nanotextures

This work aims at developing polymer surfaces with enhanced hydrophobicity by controlling both the surface chemistry and the surface structure.As a first step, a chemical surface modification is achieved by the incorporation of a synthetized tailored fluorinated copolymer, named POISE-a (Polymer prOcessing Interface StabilizEr), in a commercial pol
