Taking advantage of the conformal equivalence of f(R) theories of gravity
with General Relativity coupled to a scalar field we generalize the Israel
junction conditions for this class of theories by direct integration of the
field equations. We suggest a specific non-minimal coupling of matter to
gravity which opens the possibility of a new class of braneworld scenarios.
