Effect of TiO2 incorporation on separation performance of pure PES and PES/PVAc blend membranes

Effect of TiO2 incorporation on separation performance of pure PES and PES/PVAc blend membranes

In this research work, polyethersulfone (PES) and polyethersulfone/polyvinyl acetate (PES/PVAc) blend were incorporated with 10 wt. of TiO2 nanoparticles to form mixed matrix membranes (MMM). FESEM and TGA were utilized respectively to scrutinize the morphology and thermal stability of the developed...
