PCT No. PCT/AU96/00407 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 8, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 8, 1997 PCT Filed Jun. 28, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/02310 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 23, 1997This invention relates to a method of modifying or tailoring the surface of polymers and or polymer-based materials to control surface and interface chemistry and molecular structure. In particular a method of modifying at least a part of the surface of a polymer including: (i) oxidising at least part of the surface of the polymer and (ii) treating the oxidised surface with at least one multifunctional amine-containing organic compound to bind said compound to the oxidised polymer surface.
