Method for modifying the surface of an elastomer product

摘要

Modification of surface of elastomer product involves partially saturating unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds in region of a surface by photochemical reaction with thiol-containing compound, or by applying a layer of latex to region of the surface of the elastomer product. An independent claim is included for elastomer product, which has unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds on the surface and partially functionalized using single or multifunctional group of formula: -SR, where R is hydrogen, vinyl compound, acrylate, amine, amino acid, acetylated amino acid, anhydride, carboxylic acid, ether, epoxide, isocyanate, isothiocyanate methacrylate, silane, siloxane or solid particles.
