Morphology and Properties of a Series of PVDF Blend Membranes

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this article, a series of the PVDF/PPTA blend membranes with porous structure and excellent performance were successfully prepared by the phase transformation method. The effect of the mass ratio of W(PVDF)/W(PPTA) was systematically investigated.The morphology of the blend membranes were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The permeation performance was characterized by measuring pure water flux. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of membranes were researched. The experiment results confirmed that the blending ratio is a major factor to influence the structure and performance of PVDF/PPTA blend membrane. The blend membranes possess much better permeability than pure PVDF membrane and fairly good the mechanical properties especially for the membrane made by PVDF : PPTA=6 : 1.
