ABSTRACT:
A process for the preparation of a microporous polymeric membrane is provided which includes polymerizing a polymerizable fluorine-containing monomer in the presence of a microporous polymeric membrane substrate such that the fluorine-containing monomer forms a polymeric superstrate that is permanently chemically bonded to all surfaces of the membrane. A device is also provided for processing fluids which incorporates a microporous polymeric membrane having a CWST of less than about 28 dynes/cm and includes a microporous polymeric membrane substrate formed from a material such as a fluoropolymer and, permanently chemically bonded to all portions of the surface thereof is a superstrate, which may be a polymer or copolymer derived from a monomer(s), having an ethylenically unsaturated group and a perfluoroalkyl group. A gas filtration/drying process, a method of venting a gas from a vessel and a method of separating a gas from a liquid in a gas/liquid mixture using a microporous polymeric membrane having a CWST less than about 28 dynes/cm which includes a microporous polymeric membrane substrate and a superstrate fluoropolymer permanently chemically bonded to all portions of the membrane substrate are also provided.
