The Conception and Design of Polymeric Membranes Modification Technology Using Surface Engineering Techniques

In this work, the use of innovation technique like plasma treatment was introduced in modification of surfaces of polymeric membranes. This creates a great potential in the development of new functional properties to filtration materials. The surface of polymeric membranes was altered by the deposition by magnetron sputtering method of thin layers of metal oxides such as copper oxide, silver oxide or titanium oxide.
