Abstract

The wettability control of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) was analyzed using a 126 nm vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation. The samples were exposed to 126 nm VUV light in air over the pressure range of 2 × 10 ^∓4∓10⁵. It was observed that the minimum water contact angles were about 50°, 33° and 64° when the samples were treated at 10, 10³, and 10⁵ Pa. It was also observed through 172 nm VUV irradiation that the values were larger than the PMMA substrates. After 126 nm VUV irradiation was conducted under the high vacuum condition of 2×10^∓4 Pa, it was found that the PMMA substrate surface became carbon-rich.
