Ultrafiltration mixed matrix membranes were prepared using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with functionalized mesoporous amino nano-silica (NS). The prepared functionalized mesoporous amino nano-silica (NS) was characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared. The results indicate that the addition of amino-functionalized nano-silica improves the hydrophilicity of the membrane. Membranes M5 and M6 showed… Continue reading Amino-functionalized mesoporous nano-silica/polyvinylidene fluoride composite as efficient ultrafiltration membrane
