Preparation and characterization of hydrophobic PVDF membranes by vapor-induced phase separation and application in vacuum membrane distillation

Hydrophobic symmetric flat-sheet membranes of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for use in vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) were successfully fabricated by the vapour induced phase separation (VIPS) method using the double layer casting process. To avoid the delamination that often occurs in double-l...
