  Surface modification of polymeric membranes using plasma treatment: A comprehensive review

  By Karthik raj, Nistala Venkata Subrahmanyam, Deekshitha M, Dipankar Pal

  Abstract: In the contemporary science era, polymer membranes have a wide range of services. Polymeric membranes have very good bulk properties having potential applications in various processing industries.These membranes can be even modified using various techniques. The surface modifications of membranes to incorporate various hydrophilic functional groups without changing the bulk properties has gained popularity. The surface becomes hydrophilic because new polar functional groups are formed. For instance, after oxygen and …
