Abstract
A new process for grafting poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVDC) to the membrane material MF-4SK by UV-initiated graft polymerization of the monomer from the gas phase has been developed. Modified membranes containing up to 20 wt % of UV-grafted PVDC have been obtained. Microphotographs of thin sections of the modified membranes have been investigated. It has been shown that the pretreatment of the membranes and variation of UV- or γ-grafting conditions make it possible to achieve an uniform distribution of grafted PVDC both along the thickness of the membrane and in a thin surface layer. The values of the parameters determining the character of the distribution have been estimated. Numerical simulation of the UV- and γ-initiated graft polymerization of VDC gave solutions for the grafted-PVDC distribution fitting with the experimental data.
