The performance of the PVDF-Fe3O4 ultrafiltration membrane and the effect of a parallel magnetic field used during the membrane formation

Hydrophilicity, morphology and excellent adsorption ability of poly(vinylidene fluoride) membranes induced by graphene oxide and polyvinylpyrrolidone

“…In their approach, the pristine PVDF membrane was first grafted with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMMA) by plasma induced graft copolymerization, then the functionalized silica nanoparticles were anchored on the membrane surface and consequently, significantly improved wettability of the membrane was achieved and the membrane surface was converted from hydrophobic to highly hydrophilic. Other nanoparticles used to enhance the hydrophilicity of PVDF membranes include aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) [22], ferriferous oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) [23], titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) [24], etc.…”

Process–structure–property relationships in nanocomposites based on piezoelectric-polymer matrix and magnetic nanoparticles

“…Limited literature on crystallinity, conductivity, and magnetic properties of PVDF/Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites are available (Shylesh et al, 2010;Bhatt et al, 2011;Chunhua et al, 2009;Ramazanov et al, 2010;Huang et al, 2012). Limited literature on crystallinity, conductivity, and magnetic properties of PVDF/Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites are available (Shylesh et al, 2010;Bhatt et al, 2011;Chunhua et al, 2009;Ramazanov et al, 2010;Huang et al, 2012).…”

Advances in polymeric membranes for water treatment

“…In various studies, Huang, Guo, Guo, and Zhang (2006), Huang, Chen, Chen, Zhang, and Xu (2010), and Huang, Zheng, et al (2012) investigated the effects of incorporating Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles on the performance of polymeric membranes. The authors showed that magnetization of a PAN membrane using Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles led to an increment of membrane permeation and antifouling performance in the ultrafiltration of pig blood (Huang et al, 2006).…”

“…The authors showed that magnetization of a PAN membrane using Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles led to an increment of membrane permeation and antifouling performance in the ultrafiltration of pig blood (Huang et al, 2006). Moreover, Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles with different concentrations were applied in fabricating PSfeFe 3 O 4 and PVDFe Fe 3 O 4 (Huang, Zheng, et al, 2012) nanocomposite membranes. The composite membranes showed the best performance in terms of pure water flux, rejection, and fouling resistance.…”
