Langmuir, 28(11), 5125-5137. https://doi.org/10.1021/la205158nWe have prepared and characterized a series of multifluorocarbon end-functional polyethylene additives, which when blended with polyethylene matrices increase surface hydrophobicity and lipophobicity. Water contact angles of >112° were observed on sp... Read More about Surface Modification of Polyethylene with Multi-End-Functional Polyethylene Additives.
