Filter Media
The performance of filter media can be dramatically enhanced by the use of plasma via functionalization and deposition processes. For example, filter media are often functionalized with chemistries such as ammonia to produce amine groups on the surface that can enhance the wettability and alter gas and liquid permeation rates. Deposition of materials on filter media that function as tie layers for the attachment of an anti-coagulant such as heparin and anti-viral or anti-microbial molecules to surfaces has also been proven.
