Abstract
A complete and permanent hydrophilic modification of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes is achieved by argon plasma treatment followed by polyacrylic acid (PAA) grafting in vapor phase. Both Ar plasma treatment alone and post-PAA grafting rendered a complete hydrophilicity to the PES membranes. The hydrophilicity of the membranes treated with only the Ar plasmas is not, however, permanent. In contrast, the PES membranes treated with Ar plasma and...
