Composite membranes manufactured by crosslinking poly(vinyl alcohol) on polyethersulfone porous membranes. The physico-chemical properties were studied by attenuated total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. Thermal stability and phase transition were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.
Use Cases
- Predicting membrane wettability based on contact angle measurements mentioned in the description
- Analyzing thermal stability for separation applications based on decomposition temperature data
- Studying the effect of crosslinking agents on membrane amorphous regions based on FTIR analysis
- Evaluating surface functionalization for pervaporation performance based on air-plasma treatment results
Strengths
- Description details specific analytical techniques used: ATR-FTIR, contact angle measurements, TGA, and DSC
- Description explains the manufacturing process: crosslinking PVA on PES membranes with maleic acid
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Sample data is unavailable, hindering preliminary inspection
