Abstract

Surface hydrophobicity of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes was controlled via carbon coating using the CVD method or O2 plasma treatment with insignificant changes of pore diameter. This study first demonstrated that a larger hydrophobic pore surface and hydrophilic membrane surface are favorable for developing high performance membranes.
