Fouling is regarded as the bottleneck in membrane filtration process. One of the practical strategies to decrease fouling is the use of advanced anti-biofouling membrane material. …
A new type of nanocomposite ion-exchange membranes containing sulfonated polyethersulfone (sPES) polymer matrix and sulfonated surface-functionalized mesoporous silica (SS) …
This paper will look at developments of new polymer electrolyte membranes to replace high cost ion exchange membranes such as Nafion®, Flemion® and Aciplex®. These perfluorinated …
In this work, we report a new class of organic–inorganic nanocomposite ion-exchange membranes containing a sulfonated functionalized polymer (sulfonated polyethersulfone) and …
Comprehensive fouling propensity associated with the change of soluble microbial products (SMP), especially the concentration of SMP and the ratio of protein to polysaccharide …
In this work we investigate the potential of a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol-polyethylene glycol, tri-block copolymer as a template for a hybrid carbon/silica membrane …
Ion-exchange membranes consisting of sulfonated polyether sulfone with controllable porosities and structures were prepared via a two-step phase inversion procedure. The porosity …
Via a two-step phase inversion technique, composite membranes with controllable porosity and a significant improvement of electrochemical properties were successfully prepared. The …
Polyethersulfone (PES) was sulfonated by chlorosulfonic acid and then used as the polymer matrix for cation-exchange membranes (CEM). The sulfonation reaction was conducted at room …
Nafion–carbon (NC) composite membranes were prepared by hydrothermal treatment of Nafion membrane impregnated with glucose solution. The carbon loading of the NC membrane was tuned …
