Abstract:In this study, the dual strategy of 1-butyl-3vinylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid (IL) grafting and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanocomposition was applied to modify poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based membranes. The highly hydrophilic/oleophobic and fouling-resistant PVDF-g-IL/CNTs membranes with excellent separation efficiency were obtained by the nonsolvent-induced phase separation method with ethanol− water mixed solution as the coagulation bath. The grafted IL not only generated hydrophilic groups on PVDF… Show more
