ZIF-8/Cellulose Acetate Based Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) Synthesis and Characterization

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have gained much interest in the last two decades to be used as water, waste water, and gas separation membranes. MMMs combine polymer matrix and inorganic filler to improve the performances of pure polymeric membranes. However, the choice of filler should be conducted carefully to avoid the formation of microvoids that can decrease the membrane’s performances. Hence, in this study the synthesis and characterization of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) based MMMs were conducted in which the ZIF-8 has organic component that can improve the particle dispersion and avoid the formation of microvoids. Experimental results showed that ZIF-8 incorporation improved the degree of crystallinity of MMMs and also enhanced the particle dispersion compared to pure inorganic fillers, such as TiO2.
