Graft polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEGA) onto polyurethane (PU) was conducted to improve its water compatibility, tensile mechanical strength, shape memory, and low-temperature flexibility properties, as well as to control its water vapor permeability (WVP). Control PUs containing free poly(PEGA) were also prepared to compare with the poly(PEGA)-grafted PUs. The water compatibility of PU notably improved due to the grafting of poly(PEGA) based on water contact angle results. The soft segment melting temperature and glass transition temperature were not changed with the increase in the PEGA content. The tensile strength of PU sharply increased due to the grafting of poly(PEGA), whereas the free poly(PEGA) in the control PUs did not cause a similar increase. The maximum strain of PU was not affected by the grafting of poly(PEGA). The shape recovery at 0°C significantly increased compared with the unmodified PU. The low-temperature flexibility of PU improved, and the WVP through the PU membrane was reduced by the grafting of poly(PEGA) onto PU.

Quartz crystal microbalances (QCM) are transducers for chemical and biochemical sensing. The oscillation frequency of QCM is affected by the adsorbed mass on the surface. In this work, a new room temperature type gas sensor device fabricated by organically hybridized plasma deposition of tetramethyltin (TMT) and oxygen. Post treatment with poly ethylene glycol (PEG) was developed to detect the ambient environmental smother, and the responses of the fabricated sensor to smother detection were investigated. SnO x C y thin films on the sensor electrodes were obtained by plasma deposition from TMT and O 2 gas mixtures at room temperature. A spin coating post treatment on the SnO x C y thin films turns into hydrophilic property. The response of the QCM sensor to the smother detection shows a frequency drop during the burning of candle and has good detection sensitivity with Δf equal to 2400 Hz. Repeated smother testing with the QCM type smother detection sensor also indicates the stability of the fabricated sensor.
