The Research of Hydrophilic Modification of PVC/PES Blended Membrane by the Additive of CA

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the performance of Poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)/ polyethersulfone (PES) blended membranes, cellulose acetate (CA) was used as a hydrophilic enhancer to blend with PVC and PES for membrane preparation by phase inversion method. In this study, the results of equilibrium water content (EWC), contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the addition of CA could effectively improve the hydrophilicity of PVC/PES blended membrane. It was also found that water flux of PVC/PES/CA blended membranes increased with the increase of CA concentration.
