Media type: E-Article Title: Surface modification of poly(vinyl chloride) with poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(dimethyl siloxane) graft copolymers Contributor: Gorelova, M. M.; Pertsin, A. J.; Muzafarov, A. M.; Gritsenok, O. T.; Vasilenko, N. G. imprint: Wiley, 1995 Published in: Journal of Applied Polymer Science Language: English DOI: 10.1002/app.1995.070550716 ISSN: 0021-8995; 1097-4628 Keywords: Materials Chemistry ; Polymers and Plastics ; Surfaces, Coatings and Films ; General Chemistry Origination: Footnote: Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to study the surface segregation of siloxane in dilute blends of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(dimethyl siloxane) graft copolymers in poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC). The graft copolymers are found to be extremely efficient surface modifiers, which form, when added in amounts of 0.5% or more, a continuous siloxane overlayer on the surface of PVC. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.</jats:p>
