Abstract:
Method of treating a base material for obtaining one or more specific properties, excluding ionomeric properties, by diffusing a specific substance into the base material, said substance directly or indirectly inducing the specific property or properties, comprising the steps:providing a base material chosen from the group consisting of synthetic polymers, natural polymers, ceramics, oil substances, fatty substances, grease substances, gels, pastes, glass substances, rubbers, liquids, multilayer systems of substances, fractal compositions of substances, composites, and microelectronic components; and contacting the base material with an electrically conductive medium, wherein the specific substance is diffused through the surface layer and substantially into the volume of the base material by an electric field being applied across the total of said base material, electrically conductive medium and specific substance to obtain one or more of said specific properties, excluding said ionomeric properties.
