VTOS Cross-Linked PDMS Membranes for Recovery of Ethanol from Aqueous Solution by Pervaporation

PDMS membranes were prepared by cross-linking with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTOS) on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) substrate to increase hydrophobicity and improve pervaporation (PV) performance. It was shown that the membranes had high ethanol permselectivity and flux. The effects of cross-linking temperatu...
