Abstract:The work deals with the selection of sulfonating agent and preparation of polymeric coating on membrane step by step. The surface modification of a commercial ultrafiltration polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was covalently attached to the poly(styrene‐co‐divinylbenzene‐co‐4‐vinylbenzylchloride). The whole process was tracked step by step using analytical methods. Chlorosulfonic acid and trimethylsilyl chlorosulfonate were tested as sulfonating agents. Ion‐exchange capacity (IEC), water content, specific resista… 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.
