Design and Construction of Porous Structures in PVDF Membranes in Phase Separation Processes

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this article, the morphologies of membranes formed by three different systems, i.e. favorable diluent/unfavorable diluent/PVDF system, water-soluble solvent/ unfavorable diluent/PVDF system, and favorable diluent/unfavorable diluent/water-soluble polymer/PVDF system, were characterized, and the relationship between porous membrane morphology and the components of favorable diluent/unfavorable diluent and water-soluble solvent/unfavorable diluent in the system was investigated. The transformation from mesopores to bicontinuous porous structures, from finger-shaped pores to bicontinuous porous structures was realized, and meanwhile PVDF microporous membranes with microfiber-shaped porous structures were manufactured.
