Hydrophilic treatment of polyester surfaces using TiO^sub 2^ photocatalytic reactions

In order to investigate the TiO^sub 2^ photocatalytic treatment of the polyester substrate in more detail, we examined variations in the surface characteristics of the polyester film using two different kinds of UV light. We evaluated the characteristics of UV irradiated polyester films using contac...

Summary:In order to investigate the TiO^sub 2^ photocatalytic treatment of the polyester substrate in more detail, we examined variations in the surface characteristics of the polyester film using two different kinds of UV light. We evaluated the characteristics of UV irradiated polyester films using contact angle measurements.
