The expanding availability of narrow-wavelength deep UV lamps and powerful tools for numerical modelling afford growing opportunity to create precisely tailored organic thin films by transformation of an original substrate. Having begun with synthetic polymers (polyesters), application to natural materials (cellulose) is now proving successful, as revealed by surface spectroscopies (XPS and ToF-SIMS), AFM and wetting.
