Regenerative Polymer Membranes for Water Treatment Applications

Abstract

Work supported under this grant explored surface segregation of amphiphilic comb polymer additives as an economical means to increase service lifetimes and enhance function of filtration membranes fabricated by immersion precipitation. To model the influence of process parameters on membrane morphology, a simulation tool based on lattice Boltzmann techniques was developed.
