Effect of pmma-mwnts loading on Co2 separation performance of thin film nanocomposite membrane

Nanocomposite membrane, especially the thin film nanocomposite (TFN) fabricated via interfacial polymerization (IP) is a relatively new class of membrane which features good separation performance and practical processing. This study investigated on the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT...
