METHOD OF TREATING SURFACES

摘要

Method of treating the surface of a synthetic polymer, the use of the method for treating surfaces as well as an object formed by a synthetic polymer. The method comprises the steps of increasing the surface energy of the surface and directly contacting the activated surface with a phenolic modifying chemical and an enzyme for bonding of the phenolic chemical to the activated surface. The modifying chemical is preferably bonded to the activated surface so firmly that it cannot be removed by washing, for example using an aqueous medium. By the invention, the surface of a synthetic polymer can be imparted improved wetting, anti-static, soil repellent, adherence, and antimicrobial properties.
