Preparation Thin Film Nanocomposite Membrane Incorporating PMMA Modified MWNT for Nanofiltration

Abstract: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) grafted by Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) can well disperse in organic solutions like toluene,which were synthesized via a microemulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of acid-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (c-MWNTs). The polyamide thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes with embedded PMMA-MWNTs were prepared using piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) porous substrate via interfacial polymerization … Show more

“…This aspect has been addressed by introducing an additional functionalisation step with acid groups, to form hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the tube surface [29]. The functionalised CNTs have been added in relatively large amounts (1 wt% -10 wt%), with a corresponding increase in rejection of up to 5% and providing permeances up to 50% higher than those of the starting polyamide membrane [30,31]. CNTs have also been functionalised with more complex zwitterion groups.…”
