PDMS/PVDF hybrid electrospun membrane with superhydrophobic property and drop impact dynamics for dyeing wastewater treatment using membrane distillation
Dr. Alicia An and her group developed a hybrid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymeric microspheres-PVDF superhydrophic membrane via electrospinning. The membrane exhibited antifouling characteristic when treating differently-charged dyes wastewater. Such ideal membrane can be applied in Membrane Distillation for wastewater treatment.
