“…Moloney223 reported that modification of large range polymeric membranes can be done by direct chemical reactions under mild conditions and using inexpensive reagents. It was reported by Moloney222 that functionalized diarylcarbenes are excellent reactive intermediates suitable for direct surface modification of a range of organic and inorganic materials.…”

The development in the area of surface modification of polymeric synthetic membranes since 2000 is reviewed. Many patents, articles, and reviews have been written on the development in the area of surface modification of polymeric synthetic membranes subjected to RO, UF, NF, gas separation (GS), and biomedical applications, mainly since 2000, but recently more attention has been given to the modification of their surfaces to obtain desirable results. In particular, most emphasis has been given to plasma treatment, grafting of polymers on the surface, and modifying the surfaces by adding SMMs (surface‐modifying molecules). New additives are synthesized to make the polymeric membrane surfaces either to be more hydrophilic or hydrophobic, aimed at improvement in selectivity and permeability of the membranes for GS, NF, and RO. Improvement in antifouling by surface modification is also a popular topic in the membrane industries. In the last 8 years, tremendous research efforts have been made on the development of antifouling membranes. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010

“…With the development of several de novo synthesized materials, researchers in this field have come to realize that the surface engineering of devices is of central importance for desired specific applications and for extending their suitable applications. In particular, surface modifications with functional polymer films are regarded as powerful tools for various device applications due to their mechanical robustness, chemical stability, limited weight, relatively low cost, and various functionalities readily applicable to surface modifications . These polymer‐modified surfaces can be used for a broad range of technologies such as electronic, biomedical, and energy devices.…”

Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition: A Versatile Tool for Various Device Applications

Advances in device technology have been accompanied by the development of new types of materials and device fabrication methods. Considering device design, initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) inspires innovation as a platform technology that extends the application range of a material or device. iCVD serves as a versatile tool for surface modification using functional thin film. The building of polymeric thin films from vapor phase monomers is highly desirable for the surface modification of thermally sensitive substrates. The precise control of thin film thicknesses can be achieved using iCVD, creating a conformal coating on nano-, and microstructured substrates such as membranes and microfluidics. iCVD allows for the deposition of polymer thin films of high chemical functionality, and thus, substrate surfaces can be functionalized directly from the iCVD polymer film or can selectively gain functionality through chemical reactions between functional groups on the substrate and other reactive molecules. These beneficial aspects of iCVD can spur breakthroughs in device fabrication based on the deposition of robust and functional polymer thin films. This review describes significant implications of and recent progress made in iCVD-based technologies in three fields: electronic devices, surface engineering, and biomedical applications.

“…Inhibition of specific and non-specific interactions with microorganisms and release of antimicrobial substances from the bulk or the surface of the medical device are considered the most promising preventive strategies [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The design of advanced materials with properties carefully tailored for specific applications can improve the performance of medical devices and reduce the risk of infections [2,22].…”
