Zein: A Novel Porogen for the Preparation of PVDF Porous Membrane

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zein as the hydrophobic porogen was used to prepare the PVDF porous membrane, ATR demonstrate that zein can be washed away conveniently and no existed in membrane bulk. Compared to the reference PVDF membrane, Mechanical strength of modified PVDF membrane is improved and the water flux increase triple due to the large number of micro-sized pore structure on the membrane surface. Zein can be used for the preparation of hydrophobic porous membrane.
