| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for forming functional layers on an inorganic or organic substrate, wherein a) a low-temperature plasma, a corona discharge, high-energy radiation and/or a flame treatment is caused to act on the inorganic or organic substrate, b) 1) at least one activatable initiator or 2) at least one activatable initiator and at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound is/are applied in the form of a melt, solution, suspension or emulsion to the inorganic or organic substrate, there being incorporated in the activatable initiator and/or the ethylenically unsaturated compound at least one function-controlling group which results in the treated substrate's acquiring desired surface properties, and c) the coated substrate is heated and/or is irradiated with electromagnetic waves, the substrate thereby acquiring the desired surface properties. The invention relates also to substrates coated in accordance with the method and to their use. |
