“…6 c, d) and 532 ± 185 ( hydrophobicity, and thus have a low surface free energy value [38]. It has been reported that the hydrophobic surface is capable of absorbing a large number of proteins [69] which typically inhibits cell adhesion [70].…”

“…However, the hydrophobic property of PVDF causes fouling and decreases the life of the membrane. Various methods for modification of PVDF have been reported [2][3][4][5]. In one of these methods, the PVDF membrane surface was modified by grafting with active compounds using high-energy radiation [2].…”

“…Another method highlighted PVDF modification using a surface impregnation coating with active compounds such as hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) [3]. Radiation treatment was also suggested to create surface defects, which may act as active sites for the attachment of suitable compounds to the surface [4]. It has been well established that the mixing or blending of hydrophobic commercial polymers with active monomers such as acrylic acid increased hydrophilicity and enhanced their properties [5].…”

“…In addition to its use for biocompatibility applications, PTFE has also been employed as self-cleaning coating [8][9][10]. Other widely used fluoropolymers such as PVDF and PFA have been plasma-treated to improve their chemical and mechanical properties [11][12][13][14].…”
