Low Temperature Plasma For The Preparation Of Separation Membranes
Abstract
The use of low temperature (nonequilibrium) plasmas to prepare separation membranes is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on membranes for separating gas mixtures. Two types of plasma processing which have been utilized are plasma treatment and plasma polymerization. Various combinations of plasma processing and substrate morphology (porous or nonporous) can be envisioned for membrane fabrication. Some of these combinations have been studied and are discussed along with the results reported in the literature. The separation characteristics of the resultant membrane are affected not only by the parameters of the plasma process, such as the plasma gas (monomer) flow rate, the power input, the gas pressure, and the plasma duration, but also by the nature of the underlying substrate and its surface morphology. © 1989.
