AB The development and characterizing of thin layers of AgCu, Cu, Ti, and Zr on nylon filters using PVD magnetron sputtering technology was conducted. The evaluation of these thin layers was mainly focused on characterizing specific parameters that may influence the expected functionality of the modified filter materials. The surface treatment of nylon filters with thin layers does not significantly affect the mechanical properties of the original nylon material. Thin layers deposited at a power of 0.9 kW exhibited greater thickness and lower static friction coefficient values than the layers deposited at 0.4 kW, except for a thin layer of the element titanium. The surface modification of the filters did not significantly change resistance to deformation and had no significant reduction in pore size. However, a significant effect on surface wettability (increased hydrophobicity) was demonstrated.
