Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of hard synchronous increase strength and permeability of polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) membrane, PVDF/ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) blends hollow fiber membranes were prepared by thermally induced phase separation, using mineral oil and dibutyl phthalate as mixed diluents. The influences of different cooling temperatures on the morphology and pore structure of the membrane were investigated. Permeability and mechanical properties of hollow fiber membranes were characterized by gas flux, water flux and tensile strength. The results show that fibrillar UHMWPE increases the connectivity of PVDF spherulitic aggregates. The cooling temperature has a significant influence on the structure and properties of the blends hollow fiber membrane. With the cooling temperature increases, the time of phase separation and crystallization of blends system(PVDF/dibutyl phthalate and UHMWPE/mineral oil) are prolonged. The average pore size and porosity of the membrane increase, which improves the membrane permeability. However, the appearance of large pores and the decrease of UHMWPE fibrils reduce the mechanical properties of the membrane.

Key words: hollow fiber membrane, thermally induced phase separation, polyvinylidene fluoride, ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene, cooling temperature
