Abstract:The electrospun nanofiber membrane from polyvinyl chloride
(PVC)
waste for water treatment applications has been successfully produced.
The PVC precursor solution was prepared by dissolving the PVC waste
in DMAc solvent, and a centrifuge was used to separate undissolved
materials from the precursor solution. Ag and TiO2 were
added to the precursor solution before the electrospinning process.
We studied the fabricated PVC membranes using SEM, EDS, XRF, XRD,
and FTIR to study the fiber and membrane properties. T… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
