Plasma polymerized polysiloxane membrane

摘要

An ultrathin selectively permeable membrane made by glow discharge plasma polymerization of a single siloxane monomer with the deposition of the polymer as a single layer upon a nonporous support material. The resulting membrane has an oxygen content between about 10% and 60% and is highly permselective. The support material can be an electrode, thereby forming an electrode that is resistant to fouling or contamination but readily accessible to oxygen.
