We introduce a novel approach to function-structure modeling of the polymer materials. It’s based on mathematical and statistical processing of the images obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the corresponding surfaces. We studied the correlation-rotational anisotropy, the degrees of planar and contour heterogeneity and the morphological spectra of the SEM images to characterize the function-structure relationships quantitatively. The introduced quantitative characteristics will allow to rationalize the choice of chemical compositions of the modifying gas mixtures (for example, helium-fluorine-oxygen) that provide the maximum possible wetting edge angles for the materials under consideration with reference polar and non-polar liquids.
