Relationship between surface hydrophobicity and flux for membrane separation.

ABSTRACT: Surface hydrophobicity of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes was controlled via carbon coating using the CVD method or O₂ plasma treatment with insignificant changes of pore diameter. This study first demonstrated that a larger hydrophobic pore surface and hydrophilic membrane surface are favorable for developing high performance membranes.
