Surface modification of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PEI) films by treatment with ethoxylated alkylaminoanthraquinoes which was synthesized by the reaction of 1-aminoanthraquinone with poly(ethylene glycol) via a series of methylene spacer were investigated. The synthesized ethoxylated alkylaminoanthraquinones showed definite cloud point as in nonionic surfactants, and the adsorption of the compounds on PET increased near the cloud point. At same temperature the adsorption increased with the length of methylene spacer; hexyl-octyl-, and decyl-. The adsorption was limited to the extreme surface of PET film, which made the surface of PET film hydrophillic by reducing water contact angle.
