Bacterial Cellulose and Silica Hybrid Reinforcements in Poly-(vinylidene fluoride) Composite Membranes
Poly-(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), which has a low surface energy, is a common material used for ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. Bacterial cellulose (BC) contains a large number of hydroxyl groups, which has a strong water holding capacity. It can improve the hydrophilicity of PVDF. By means of in-s...
