Recent studies have documented the existence of discrete voids in thin polyamide selective layer composite reverse osmosis membranes. Here we present compelling evidence that these nanovoids are formed by nanosized gas bubbles generated during interfacial polymerization process. Different strategies were used to enhance or eliminate nanobubbles film tune its morphology and separation properties. Nanobubbles can endow membrane with a foamed structure within rejection is approximately 100 nm...

In this work, three modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with carboxyl (MWCNT-COOH), hydroxyl (MWCNT-OH) and amino groups (MWCNT-NH), respectively, were added into the aqueous phase containing piperazine (PIP) to fabricate nanocomposite nanofiltration (NF) membranes via interfacial polymerization. The influences of functional MWCNTs on performance NF membrane investigated. characterized by TEM, FT-IR TGA; meanwhile, properties evaluated XPS, AFM contact angle. XPS results proved...

Abstract Organic–inorganic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)–titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) composite hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared by TiO sol–gel method and blending method, respectively. The characterized in terms of microstructure, hydrophilicity, permeation performance, thermal stability, mechanical strength. experimental results indicated that PVDF–TiO UF exhibited significant differences surface properties intrinsic because the addition inorganic particles....

The ability to create superoleophobic surfaces repellent toward low-surface-tension liquids is important for various applications, and has been recently demonstrated using re-entrant or doubly microtopography. Liquid droplets on such feature composite liquid-solid-air interfaces, whereas liquid-lubricant-air interfaces would have potential additional repellency. Here, the development of a novel slippery surface with low adhesion via combining microtopography lubricant-infused porous...

Commercial polyamide membranes for seawater desalination and water purification have low permeability because of their relatively thick rejection layers. We report a novel interfacial polymerization method synthesizing ultrathin layers with precisely controllable thickness. Monomer solutions m-phenylenediamine trimesoyl chloride were electrosprayed into fine microdroplets. The reaction between microdroplets different monomers leads to amount deposition. fabricated smooth from 4 nm several...
