SUMMARY
Protective gloves are made of natural rubber, acrylonitrilebutadiene rubber, butyl rubber, polyvinyl chloride, and chloroprene rubber latex. To obtain a material with surface hydrophobicity higher than in standard materials used currently for protective gloves, surface geometrisation can be used. To obtain materials characterised by a contact angle greater than 150◦, the material`s surface needs to be modified 2 of 11 to increase the surface roughness. Cho et_al, in their paper, described the method based on plasma etching to improve the hydrophobicity of silicon surfaces. The following two changes occur in polymer substrate during . . .
