Poly ether ether ketone (PEEK) films have been exposed to an ultraviolet/ozone oxidative treatment. Changes in surface oxygen chemistry have been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and correlated with contact-angle measurements for water which has a high polar component to its surface tension.
