Abstract
A process for modifying the surface of a polymer substrate which comprises (1) pretreating the polymer substrate with a photoinitiator or thermoinitiator and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (2) subjecting said pretreated polymer substrate to graft polymerization by said at least one monomer, optionally in the added presence of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer that is the same or different from the monomer of step (1), and products produced thereby.
