Polyvinylideneflouride (PVDF) hollow fiber mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated through wet phase inversion method using general MMT and Cloisite 15A as inorganic fillers. The effect of clay filler loadings (1, 3 and 5wt% of polymer), their particle size and hydrophobicity on the membrane m...
