Abstract

Several methods for membrane modification have been presented. Chemical modification of a neat polymer followed by membrane formation and modification of just formed membranes have been compared to plasma action. The following plasma modes are discussed in detail: treatment with non-polymerizable gases, treatment with vapors and plasma initiated grafting. Some examples of modified membrane properties are given. Finally, it was concluded that plasma treatment offers the fastest, environment friendly and versatile method that allows tailoring brand new membranes.
