A facile strategy to enhance PVDF ultrafiltration membrane performance via self-polymerized polydopamine followed by hydrolysis of ammonium fluotitanate (2014, background): “This phenomena may be due to the formation of coordination bond (C–O Ti) by the deprotonation of C–OH groups upon TiO2 binding [48,56,59,60].”
Photoactive microfiltration membranes via directed synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles on the polymer surface for removal of drugs from water (2015, background): “In the nonpressed state the surface hydrophilicity increased (water contact angle from 1161 to 1101) on the hydrophobic PVDF membrane as it is also described in the literature [10,13,14,22–32].”
Inorganic Nanomaterials in Polymeric Ultrafiltration Membranes for Water Treatment (2015, methodology): “Hydroxyl groups were also introduced through the grafting of hydrophilic polymers onto TiO2 nanoparticles by in situ polymerization to further improve fouling resistance of the UF nanocomposite membrane (44).”
Silica nanoparticles as carriers of antifouling ligands for PVDF ultrafiltration membranes (2013, background): “As a result, imparting hydrophilicity to the PVDF membranes, which enhances the wettability and decreases fouling potential, has been a subject of intensive studies recently [5–11].”
Polymer-matrix nanocomposite membranes for water treatment (2015, unknown): “PVB; PES; CA; PVDF/SPES; PU BlendingþPI Hydrophilicity [23–55]”
