Abstract
PVA dense membranes treated by acrylic acid plasma were prepared and tested in the case of water/ethanol mixtures using pervaporation and differential permeation. The treatment strongly modified the performances of the untrea ted membrane. The hydrophilic deposited layer by plasma polymerization of a crylic acid onto the surface led to an increase of the flux and the water s electivity.
