A novel surface modified polyetherimide hollow fiber membrane for gas-liquid contacting process

A novel surface modified polyetherimide (PEI) hollow fiber membrane was fabricated via dry–wet phased inversion process where the spinning dope contains Surface Modifying Macromolecule (SMM). The surface modified membrane exhibited large pore size, higher effective surface porosity, contact angle an...

Description
Summary:A novel surface modified polyetherimide (PEI) hollow fiber membrane was fabricated via dry–wet phased inversion process where the spinning dope contains Surface Modifying Macromolecule (SMM). The surface modified membrane exhibited large pore size, higher effective surface porosity, contact angle and porosity but lower Liquid Entry Pressure of water compared to polyetherimide hollow fiber membrane without SMM.
