“…The TGA and differential thermogravimetry profiles were consistent with the results from Unger et al research . There was a slight difference between reported decomposition points presented by Unger et al and the current study which may be because of sample characteristics or instrumental factors including geometry of sample holder, thermocouple location and sample holder material . In addition, the blend membrane followed the same thermal degradation trend as pure PCL membrane.…”

Poly (caprolactone) membranes with addition of different poly (ethylene glycol) concentrations were prepared for separation of water/isopropanol azeotropic mixture by pervaporation process. Different characterization tests including Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle, and thermogravimetric analysis were carried out on the prepared membranes. In addition, the effect of poly (ethylene glycol) PEG content on the swelling degree and the performance of the prepared membranes in pervaporation process were investigated. According to the obtained results, all the membranes were water selective and the blend membrane containing 3 wt% PEG exhibited the best pervaporation performance with a water flux of 0.517 kg/m2 hour and separation factor of 1642 at the ambient temperature. Hydrophilicity improvement of the blend membranes was confirmed by constant decrease in water contact angle of the membranes as PEG content increased in the casting solution. Scanning electron microscopy cross‐sectional images indicated that the blend membranes containing PEG had a closed cellular structure. Furthermore, mechanical and thermal properties of the membranes decreased by adding PEG.

“…Contact angle measurement is an important parameter in determining surface hydrophilicity . In fact, hydrophobic surface has contact angle greater than 90°, whereas, surface with contact angle lower than 90° is known as a hydrophilic surface . In the case of ABS, styrene and butadiene are hydrophobic components while acrylonitrile is hydrophilic .…”

This review tries to represent the acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (ABS) modifications and research potentials in the field of membrane technology in the absence of comprehensive review until now. Accordingly, ABS properties were presented at first. Next, ABS defects which can restrict its application were introduced. Moreover, this study covered the relevant researches regarding modification of ABS membranes. It was found out that there are a lot of points about ABS which should be surveyed until its application in membrane technology extends like widely used polymers. Finally, the insight for the future researches regarding ABS membranes was particularly investigated. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:2835–2846, 2018. © 2017 Society of Plastics Engineers

Biodegradable membranes with different compositions of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polybutylene succinate (PBS) are prepared via immersion precipitation. The morphology, hydrophilicity, chemical structure, crystalline structure, mechanical properties, and biodegradability of the membranes are studied to assess the effect of PBS concentration in the polymer blend on membrane properties. Furthermore, the performance of the obtained membranes is assessed through the treatment of wastewater sampled from the chips and snacks factory. Also, membranes' antifouling properties are assessed by filtration of a model foulant. The investigations revealed that the addition of PBS to PCL increases the membrane hydrophilicity and biodegradability. Regarding the results, the PCL membrane blended with 30 wt% PBS has 106%, 26%, and 37% higher pure water flux, flux recovery ratio, and permeate flux, in addition to the higher rejection of pollution indices, in comparison with the PCL membrane.
