Abstract
- Modified UF membranes were obtained using a unique plasma reactor.
- Bactericidal membranes were obtained by GFS deposition of silver nanoparticles.
- PECVD deposition of a thin layer of PMMA enhanced the fixation of silver nanoparticles.
- Anti-adhesion and bactericidal assays were tested successfully in modified membranes.
- Treated membranes revealed effective resistance to biofouling during water disinfection by UF.
