On the effect of fumed silica particles on the structure, properties and application of PVDF membranes

Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Bilad, MR; Kujawa, J; Gharabli, S Al; Arafat, HA (Elsevier, 2017-10)

This study explored the impact of hydrophobic fumed silica (FS) particles as an inorganic additive in the preparation of polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) membranes using the phase inversion technique. PVDF membranes were ...
Shrinkage, defect and membrane distillation performance of composite PVDF membranes

Bilad, Muhammad R; Burrieza, E Guillen; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Marzooqi, Faisal A Al; ETAL. (Elsevier, 2015-11)

This study addresses the importance of non-woven support (NWS) during the preparation of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes for membrane distillation (MD). Five different NWSs were investigated as substrate materials ...
