title: Immobilization of surface active compounds on polymer supports using a gas discharge process.
abstract: By applying an argon plasma treatment to a layer of a surface active agent pre-adsorbed on a polymer substrate, it is possible to covalently couple this layer to the substrate. This method offers a direct route to tailor the surface properties of polymers.
