Thermogravimetric analyses under an oxidative atmosphere with air (a,b) and an inert atmosphere with nitrogen (c,d) of the pristine PVDF (p-PVDF) membrane, coated membranes with FAS/TEOS and FAS/APTES (Coat-TEOS and Coat-APTES, respectively) and modified membranes with oxygen plasma activation at 15 W for a period of 15 min and functionalised with FAS/TEOS and FAS/APTES (PO₂-TEOS and PO₂-APTES) before (a,c) and after (b,d) long-term stability tests. The derivative thermogravimetric curves (dm/dt) as the derivative of the mass (%) with respect to the time (min) as a function of temperature (°C) and expressed in arbitrary units (a.u.).
