Effects of Superhydrophobic SiO2 Nano-particles on the Performance of PVDF Flat Sheet Membranes for Membrane Distillation
Poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) nano-composite membranes were prepared. The dope solution contained varied concentrations of superhydrophobic SiO2 nano-particles. The fabricated flat sheet membranes were characterized extensively by SEM, FTIR, water contact angle, LEPw, surface roughness, pore size...
