Preparation of a Novel Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Ultrafiltration Membrane Modified with Reduced Graphene Oxide/Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Nanocomposite with Enhanced Hydrophilicity and Antifouling Properties
Abstract
A novel polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) mixed matrix ultrafiltration membrane containing reduced graphene oxide/titanium dioxide (rGO/TiO 2 ) nanocomposite was prepared by phase inversion method. The synthesized rGO/TiO 2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The prepared rGO/TiO 2 blended PVDF membranes were characterized by atomic force microscopy, SEM, water contact angle, porosity, permeation measurements, and rejection tests. Due to the high hydrophilicity of the rGO/TiO 2 nanocomposite, the rGO/TiO 2 /PVDF membranes were more hydrophilic and had higher pure water flux and flux recovery ratio than the bare PVDF. The blended membranes showed remarkably good properties and performance when the rGO/TiO 2 content of 0.05 wt % was added to the casting solution. The pure water flux of the 0.05 wt % rGO/TiO 2 blended membrane was increased by 54.9% compared with the bare PVDF membrane. The antifouling study of the membranes revealed that a 0.05 wt % rGO/TiO 2 membrane had the best fouling resistance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
