This study is to bring an overview on various methods regarding the surface treatment performed on different polymeric membranes in relation to a deference between the treatment mechanism and their chemical structure.Herein,plasma and UV surface treatments(PST and UST)were utilized to treat the surfaces of two commercial membranes,i.e.,aromatic polyimide and polyethylene terephthalate for various durations using a discharge electrode and an UV LED curing system,respectively.Based on the effects of PST and UST processes on the surface of these membranes,their surface properties have been characterized to surface morphology and hydrophilicity(or wettability),at same time the changes have probably occurred on their surface during the PST and UST processes.As a result,their hydrophilic behavior was significantly enhanced after conducting these treatment processes based on the investigation of water contact angle.Moreover,Fourier-transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy manifested the changes in the chemical bonds,interactions and orientations of molecules,which confirmed the apparition and insertion of polar functional groups after the surface treatments,and accordingly,their wettability was enhanced significantly.Also,optical microscopy images showed direct impactions on their surface and the evidence of slight surface aging/damage during the treatment processes based on the presentation of the strange streaks on the treated surfaces.In particular,the peel forces exhibited an increase comparing to the initial membranes,which is characteristically for enhancing their adhesion behavior.Hence,these results are needful for improving the surface properties of a material,and obtaining better adhesion behavior on the membrane-like materials and recycling polymer materials.
