Unsupported fluorocarbon copolymer membrane and a method for making the same

摘要

An unsupported fluorocarbon copolymer membrane is made unsupported by using a combination of two distinctly different processes: the first is an annealing heat treatment, and the second is a polymerization process using ultra-violet (UV) light and acrylate monomers (UV/Acrylic process) that may also make the membrane hydrophilic.
