Synthesis and Investigation of Physical Properties of PVDF/Graphene Nanostructured Membranes for Molecular Sieving, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Esfandiar, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a fluorine polymer with acceptable thermal, chemical and physical property attractive create attention in membrane technology for water treatment application. However, with differential surface free energy between PVDF and water (∆G_s=30 mJ/m^2) PVDF polymer is divided as a hydrophobic materials, that is one of the basic problem for PVDF polymer. Due to its hydrophobicity the water molecules repulsion away from hydrophobic PVDF membrane surface as a spontaneous process with an entropy increasing and therefore pollutant molecules with hydrophobic functional group have tendency to adsorb onto membrane surface and dominate the boundary layer. In recent years...
