Depth Profile Analysis of the Modified Layer of Poly(vinyltrimethylsilane) Films Treated by Direct-Current Discharge

Previously, we found that modification of the membrane surface from polyvinyltrimethylsilane (PVTMS) by treatment with low-temperature plasma induced by low pressure DC discharge leads to a significant increase in gas separation characteristics. To understand the mechanism of this phenomenon, in thi...
