Three types of inorganic fillers – fumed nonporous nano-silica, synthesized mesoporous MCM-41 and microporous zeolite 4A, were incorporated into the PVDF matrix to prepare mixed matrix membranes. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of pore structure and particle size of the in...
