摘要

Abstract

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-

-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) receives increasing attention in membrane separation field based on its advantages such as high mechanical strength

thermal and chemical stability. However

controlling the microporous structure is still challenging. In this work

we attempted to tailor the morphology of PVDF-HFP membrane

via

a one-step reactive vapor induced phase separation method. Namely

PVDF-HFP was dissolved in a volatile solvent and then was cast in an ammonia water vapor atmosphere. After complete evaporation of solvent

membranes with adjustable porous structure were prepared

and the microstructures of the membranes were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction characterizations. Based on the results

a mechanism of dehydrofluorination induced cross-linking of PVDF-HFP has been suggested to understand the morphology tailoring. To our knowledge

this is the first report of one-step reactive vapor induced phase separation strategy to tailor morphology of PVDF-HFP membrane. In addition

the membranes prepared in the ammonia water vapor exhibited enhanced mechanical strength and achieved satisfactory separation efficiency for water-in-oil emulsions

suggesting promising potential.
