Abstract
Properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) track membranes exposed to an allyl alcohol radiofrequency plasma after preactivating their surfa ce in an oxygen plasma were studied. The influence of plasma treatment conditions on basic membrane characteristics-pore size and shape, wet tability, and water permeability-was studied. It was shown that the di scharge-plasma treatment of membranes can significantly improve their performance characteristics.
