AB  - An application of plasma-induced grafting of polyethylene membranes with a thin 
      layer of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was presented. High-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) membranes, "Vyon," were used as a substrate for plasma 
      grafting modification. The herbicide atrazine, one of the most popular targets of 
      the molecular imprinting, was chosen as a template. The parameters of the plasma 
      treatment were optimized in order to achieve a good balance between 
      polymerization and ablation processes. Modified HDPE membranes were 
      characterized, and the presence of the grafted polymeric layer was confirmed 
      based on the observed weight gain, pore size measurements, and infrared 
      spectrometry. Since there was no significant change in the porosity of the 
      modified membranes, it was assumed that only a thin layer of the polymer was 
      introduced on the surface. The experiments on the re-binding of the template 
      atrazine to the membranes modified with MIP and blank polymers were performed. 
      HDPE membranes which were grafted with polymer using continuous plasma 
      polymerization demonstrated the best result which was expressed in an imprinted 
      factor equal to 3, suggesting that molecular imprinting was successfully 
      achieved.
