AB  - Radio frequency plasma is one of the means to modify the polymer surface namely 
      in the activation of polypropylene membranes (PPM) with O(2) plasma. Activated 
      membranes were deposited with TiO(2) nanoparticles by the dip coating method and 
      the bare sample and modified sample (PPM5-TiO(2)) were irradiated by UV lamps for 
      20-120 min. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), 
      Attenuated total reflection technique- Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy 
      (ATR-FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy 
      (XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and water contact angle (WCA) 
      measurements were applied to study the alteration of ensuing membrane surface 
      properties which shows the nanoparticles on the sample surface including the 
      presence of Ti on PPM. The WCA decreased from 135 degrees  (PPM) to 90 degrees  (PPM5-TiO(2)) and 
      after UV irradiation, the WCA of PPM5-TiO(2) diminished from 90 degrees  to 40 degrees .
