METHOD FOR PREPARING LUBRICATED SURFACES

摘要

A method for preparing stable even coatings of a silicone lubricant on a low surface energy polymeric surface of an article includes plasma treatment of the surface in an atmosphere of a siloxane monomer. A layer of polysiloxane is deposited on the low energy surface to give a polysiloxane surface. A film of a polysiloxane lubricant having a surface tension substantially the same as or less than the surface energy of the polysiloxane surface is applied to the polysiloxane layer.
