TL;DR: In this article, a new concept for formation of mixed matrix reverse osmosis membranes by interfacial polymerization of nanocomposite thin films in situ on porous polysulfone supports is reported.
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of polyamide thin films formed via identical interfacial polymerization conditions over porous polysulfone supports with different physical and chemical properties were discussed, including dextran rejections, water contact angles, and surface roughness statistics.
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of addition nano-sized TiO2 particles on the morphologies and properties of polysulfone (PSF)/TiO2 organic-inorganic composite UF membranes were investigated through the methods of SEM, XRD, DSC, contact angle goniometer, viscosity measurements, UF experiments and mechanical strength tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of polyamide (PA) composite reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is essentially determined by a dense skin layer several hundred nanometers thick, and improved understanding of this critical thin layer will likely advance our understanding and control of membrane fouling and trace organics rejection.
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of silica nanoparticles in polysulfone (PSf) membranes on gas permeability was investigated and the performance of mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) for O2/N2 and CO2/CH4 was investigated.
