COATING OF HYDROXYLATED SURFACES BY GAS PHASE GRAFTING

摘要

A method of coating hydroxylated surfaces by gas phase grafting is described.Especially acyl groups, silyl groupsand/or alkyl groups are located on the surface of materials by gas phasegrafting. The grafting method is a dry process. Themateri-al to coat can be organic or inorganic materials. The produced surfacecoated material are strong and durable and materialnormal-ly not water-proof can be water-proof due to the surface treating.Examples of items produced from surface treated material maybe water-proof cardboard boxes, other containers, furniture, interior for carsand boats. Items produced from organic materialssuch as from plant parts are biodegradable.
