Surface and electrochemical properties of polypropylene track membrane modified by plasma of non-polymerizing gases

The surface and electrochemical properties of polypropylene track membrane treated by plasma of nitrogen, air, and oxygen are studied. The effect of the plasma-forming gas composition on the surface morphology is considered. The membrane surface microrelief formed during the gas-discharge etching is found to change. Moreover, the non-polymerizing gas plasma treatment induces oxidation of the membrane surface layer and generates oxygen-containing functional groups, mostly carbonyl and carboxyl. The higher membrane roughness and its hydrophilization is shown to lead to its better wettability. In addition, the presence of polar groups in the membrane surface layer modifies its hydrodynamic and electrochemical properties so that water permeability and conductivity of modified membranes increase.
