Abstract

See full text

An initially hydrophobic surface comprising fluoropolymer is treated to provide the surface with hydrophilic properties. A hydrophobic surface comprising fluoropolymer is physically treated to impart a rough texture thereto, thereby providing the surface with hydrophilic properties. In an alternative method, a roughened surface is treated with a sulfur-based acid, thereby providing the surface with hydrophilic propertiesIn yet another method, a non-roughened surface fluoropolymer surface is treated with a sulfur-based acid for a time sufficient for the surface to exhibit hydrophilic properties. Products made by these processes are also described.
