Thin films of hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) were grown on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes via initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD), utilising di-tert-butyl peroxide as radical initiator. This method was able to completely coat PVDF membranes, producing uniform deposit...
