Improved hydrophilicity, permeability, antifouling and mechanical performance of PVDF composite ultrafiltration membranes tailored by oxidized low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials

TL;DR: In this article, a ternary mixture of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), oxidized carbon nanotubes (OMWCNTs), PVDF-graphene oxide (GO), and PVDF−OwCNTs-GO composite ultrafiltration membranes were prepared by solution-blending with phase inversion method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organosilane-functionalized graphene oxide for enhanced antifouling and mechanical properties of polyvinylidene fluoride ultrafiltration membranes

TL;DR: In this article, a simple covalent functionalization with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) was performed to synthesize functionalized graphene oxide (f-GO) by adding different ratios of graphene oxide and f-GO via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergetic effects of oxidized carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide on fouling control and anti-fouling mechanism of polyvinylidene fluoride ultrafiltration membranes

TL;DR: In this article, the remarkable synergetic effect between two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) and one-dimensional oxidized carbon nanotubes (OMWCNTs) on permeation and anti-fouling performance of polyvinylidene fluoride composite membranes was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalytic antifouling PVDF ultrafiltration membranes based on synergy of graphene oxide and TiO2 for water treatment

TL;DR: In this article, a novel graphene oxide/TiO2-polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid ultrafiltration membrane has been successfully developed via the phase inversion technique by supplementing with GO and TiO2 nanocomposites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical, thermal and interfacial performances of carbon fiber reinforced composites flavored by carbon nanotube in matrix/interface

TL;DR: In this paper, unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy composites where CNTs were introduced to enhance the hierarchical composites by two alternative strategies: mixing into the epoxy or attaching onto carbon fibers by electrophoretic deposition.
