17. The most widely used technique for surface analysis of polymers is probably electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), which can reveal the relative amounts of elements present at the surface (in a layer of about 100 Å thick). For very smooth surfaces (e.g. silicon wafers) also the (approximate) thickness of a modified surface layer can be deduced from variable angle measurements (Andrade, J. D. In Surface and Interfacial Aspects of Biomedical Polymers; Andrade, J. D., Ed.; Plenum Press: New York, 1985; Vol. I, Chapter 5). But for the rough surfaces of most polymers ("rough" meaning that the surface contains irregularities larger than the mean free path of inelastic scattering electrons which is about 30 Å) this important information cannot be obtained.

22. (a) MeOH does not cause appreciable swelling of the PEU. Furthermore, NaOMe, being a salt, is not expected to be able to penetrate more than a few number of polymer layers, as PEU is quite hydrophobic; in any case, hydrolysis will be much slower for the deeper layers than for the layers close to the surface (Holmes-Farley, S. R.; Whitesides, G. M. Langmuir 1987, 3, 62).
