Table 2:

Measured water contact angles and droplet heights on the various PS substrates as a function of UV exposure duration. For each substrate type, groups not connected by the same letter (a, b, or c) are significantly different (p<0.05). For each UV exposure duration, * indicates a significant difference between the types of PS substrate.
