Abstract

Faster and more effective surface modification processes of polymer materials byUV/ozone treatment were investigated. The employment of ex-situ generated ozoneand/or temperature control contributed to the faster and more effectivemodification. The UV/ozone treatment showed long-term stable hydrophilicsurfaces for 6 months, in contrast to oxygen plasma treatment, which showedhydrophobic recovery. XPS analysis revealed that UV/ozone treatment with ex-situgenerated ozone and temperature control added ester (-COOR) on COP samplecompared to UV/ozone treatment without the additional ozone and temperaturecontrol.
