| Summary: | Many applications of polymers require the functionalisation of their surface for use in sensors, composite materials, membranes, microfluidic and biomedical devices and many others. Such surface modifications endow the surface with new properties independent of those of the bulk polymer. This tutorial review describes the different methods, based on very diverse principles, that are available to perform this surface functionalisation, including plasma and UV irradiation, atomic layer deposition, electrochemistry, oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, the use of radicals and grafting "on" or "from" polymers. The principles of the different methods are briefly described and many examples are given to highlight the possibilities of the methods and the possible applications. A section is devoted to the surface modification of polymeric nanoparticles.

| Bibliography: | Jean Pinson is an Emeritus Professor at Université Paris Diderot after a full career in the same University, but also spent five years in a start-up company Alchimer, now Aveni. He is interested in electrochemistry and surface chemistry. He developed the modification of surfaces with amines, diazonium salts, and alkyl halides. Dardan Hetemi is currently a teaching assistant at Pharmacy Department, Medical Faculty at the University of Prishtina - "Hasan Prishtina". He graduated from the same university in 2008 and received his degree of European Master in Quality in Analytical Laboratories (EMQAL) in 2012 from University of Barcelona and University of Bergen. He obtained his PhD degree in 2016 from Université Paris Diderot working with Emeritus Professor Jean Pinson, Catherine Combellas and Fetah Podvorica. His research interests lie in the modification of surfaces, biopolymers, nanomaterials and drug carriers.
