New article publication on Journal of Applied Polymer Science about the use of thermic treatment with glass plates to create electrospun membranes that are resistant to long use under hydrodynamic stress.
Universitat de València MATS Group (Materials Technology and Sustainability) Membrane Development for Environmental Technologies line of research announces the publication of a new research article on Journal of Applied Polymer Science (Wiley).
The project named Hydrophobic PVDF-Based Electrospun Membranes: Design Criteria Fabrication and Resistance to Long-Term Hydrodynamic Operation presents a design and fabrication strategies to produce electrospun membranes based on PVDF highly hydrophobic and stable. Using electropinning parameter optimisation and thermic treatment with glass plates, a porous architecture able to operate for over 1000 hours under great hydrodynamic stress can be kept, simulating its use on membrant contactors for gas-liquid separation process.
The study was carried out within the CarbonBrane (PID2021-1224950A-I00) and MethBrane (TED2021-131276 A-I00) research projects and represents the second publication part of the doctoral thesis Félix Eduardo Montero Rocca, Universitat de València Chemical Environmental and Process Engineering, funded by Generalitat Valenciana, Spain (CIACIF/2022/386).
