The invention discloses a method for changing surface characteristics by using an ink jet technology, and relates to the technical field of surface treatment, and the method comprises the following steps: reducing the
surface energy of a hydrophilic material, converting the hydrophilic material into a hydrophobic material, improving the
surface energy of the hydrophobic material, and converting the hydrophobic material into the hydrophilic material. According to the method, a hydrophilic material can be converted into a hydrophobic material, the hydrophobic material can be converted into the hydrophilic material, a
coating with a specific thickness can be formed on a target base material by printing the
photoinitiator and the active
monomer and carrying out photocuring, and the
coating can change the
surface energy of the material, so that the surface energy of the material can be changed. Compared with the prior art, the
photoinitiator and the active
monomer are added, so that the original hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the
photoinitiator is converted into the opposite property, the photoinitiator and the active
monomer have important significance in controlling the wettability, the
pollution resistance and the like of the material, and the final surface energy is accurately controlled by controlling the selection,
dissolution and printing processes of the photoinitiator and the active monomer.
