The reversible giant change in the contact angle on the polysulfone and polyethersulfone films exposed to UV irradiation

Water contact angles on polysulfone and polyethersulfone films exposed to UV irradiation have been found to decrease dramatically. We relate this phenomenon to the formation and release of disulfonic acid from the irradiated films, a well-known surfactant. The phenomenon appears to be reversible, na...
