A sealing system for a flow channel comprises a mandrel and a swellable article disposed about the mandrel, the swellable article comprising a swellable body containing an elastomer of ethylene propylene diene monomer, styrene butadiene rubber, polychloroprene rubber, fluorosilicone rubber, fluoroelastomers, perfluoroelastomers, isobutylene-isoprene rubber, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing; wherein a surface of the swellable body is functionalized with a functional group that is effective to cause the surface of the swellable body to become more oleophobic than a reference surface without the functional group.
