Example 1 Poly N-isopropylacrylamide having a weight average molecular weight of about 600,000 is dissolved in water to prepare a dilute aqueous solution of about 0.5%. The surface tension of this dilute aqueous polymer solution is about 48 dynes/cm near room temperature. When a previously cleaned polyfluorocarbon flat plate was immersed in this dilute solution, hydrophobic groups contained in the side chain structure of polyN-isopropylacrylamide were selectively adsorbed onto the surface of the flat plate in about 5 seconds. Completed. After taking it out and air-drying it, the contact angle of the surface with pure water was actually measured to be 22 degrees on average. The contact angle of the untreated polyfluorocarbon plate surface with pure water was 122 degrees on average.
