BACKGROUND: Peroxidation of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surface clears the path to the formation of biospecific polymeric layers on it. The goal of this work was the modification of a PET surface with oligoperoxides with further grafting of dextran macromolecules to this peroxidated surface. RESULTS: Novel oligoperoxides with a good affinity to PET were synthesized. They are capable of attaching to the PET surface, due to the decomposition of peroxide groups via the formation of free radicals. The alterations in surface energy and its components as a result of surface modification as well as changes in topography of the PET surface were determined. The degree of modification of the PET surface can reach 68% and depends on the following: the method of oligoperoxide and dextran deposition; the concentration of both oligoperoxide and dextran in the initial solution; and the temperature at which the modification is carried out. CONCLUSION: A new method of PET surface activation has been developed. The attachment of dextran macromolecules to modified PET surfaces is confirmed. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry
