Abstract:In this paper, superhydrophilic polyimide (PI) membranes were prepared using the electrostatic spinning method, capped with a hydrophilic ionic liquid (IL), and blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Using this preparation, the surface of the fiber membranes was coated in polydopamine (PDA) by means of an in-growth method. Scanning electron micrographs showed prepared blend films can form continuous fibers, for whom the distributions of diameter and pore were uniform. Post-modification (carried out by adding… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
