PVDF membrane was modified by grafting cross-linked collagen after plasma treatment. The modified PVDF membrane has high OD value compared to original PVDF membrane, which means modified PVDF membrane has good hydrophilicity and biocompatibility.
The octa vinyl silsesquioxane (OvPOSS) was used to synthesis POSS grafted ethylene glycol (EG) (EG-POSS). The hydrophilicity and anitifouling property of pure PVDF membrane was improved by incorporating EG-POSS in PVDF membrane.
