Synthesis and characterization of EDA-functionalized polyethersulfone/SAPO-34 mixed matrix membrane
Modification techniques of the inorganic fillers have been introduced in the synthesis of mixed matrix membrane (MMM) in order to make the fillers become more compatible and homogenously dispersed in the polymer matrix. It is also believed that enhancement in polymer/filler interaction can enhance t...
