Polyethylene films were irradiated through a mask with high‐energy argon ions to activate the surface for grafting. Acrylic acid was graft polymerized onto the irradiated region of the polyethylene surface. The grafted surface was characterized by using FT‐IR and XPS. Patterned grafting of acrylic acid on the polyethylene surface was finally confirmed by a fluorescence labeling method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
