Porous PVDF-hydrophobic montmorillonite (MMT) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated via wet spinning method and used in membrane gas absorption process. The effects of hydrophobic MMT nano-clay loadings (1, 3 and 5 wt% of polymer) on the structure and performance were investigated. The fabri...
