Surface modification of natural rubber (NR) latex films by argon plasma treatment, as well as by UV-induced graft copolymerization of the plasma-pretreated films with either acrylamide (AAm) or 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutyl acrylate (HFA), have been carried out to impart new surface properties, suc...
