摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for modifying the surface of a membrane by plasma treatment, wherein said method imparts water-repellent and imperviousness properties to said membrane while preserving the steam perviousness and the elastic properties thereof. The method comprises, inter alia, a step of treating the membrane with a plasma of a precursor compound selected from a hydrocarbon gas, a fluorocarbon gas, mixtures thereof, a fluorocarbon liquid, a fluorocarbon solid, wherein the precursor compound is selected in such a way that the F/C ratio is lower than 2, followed by a step of treating the same surface of the substrate from the previous step with a plasma of a fluorocarbon gas selected in such a way that the F/C ratio is at least 2. The invention also relates to the resulting membranes.
