Surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film was studied. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly (acrylamide) (PAAM), and their diblock copolymer (PMMA/PAAM) on the surface of PET film were successfully prepared by surface‐initiated ATRP. The structures and properties of the modified PET film were characterized by FT‐IR/ATR, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), measurements of contact angles, and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the surface properties of PET film were greatly improved by grafted polymer. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
