Improving the responsiveness of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(methylmethacrylate) films via ultraviolet/ozone irradiation

In this study, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) thinfilms, with and without interlayer UVO treatment, were coated onto glass substrates using spincoating. The effect of interlayer UVO irradiation on surface properties and responsiveness wereinvestigated employing various analysis methods including water contact angle measument. Theresults indicated that interlayer UVO irradiation improved the responsiveness of the PNIPAM filmin cyclic thermal measurements.
