Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was grafted (g) with acrylic acid (AAc) by γ-ray pre-irradiation method to get PTFE-g-AAc films, then N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) was grafted onto PTFE-g-AAc films with γ-ray to get (PTFE-g-AAc)-g-NIPAAm. PTFE films were irradiated in air at a dose rate of 3.0kGyh–1 and different radiation dose. The irradiated films were placed in glass ampoules, which contained aqueous solutions with different monomer concentration (AAc), and then they were heated at different temperatures and reaction time. NIPAAm onto PTFE-g-AAc was carried out with the same procedure with monomer concentration of 1molL−1. The thermosensitivity of the samples was defined and calculated as the ratio of the grafted samples swelling at 28 and 35°C, and pH sensitivity defined as the ratio of the grafted samples swelling at pH 2 and 8.
