A new class of PVDF-based membranes suitable for membrane distillation were prepared via electrospinning. The classical fiber morphology PVDF electrospun was changed to generate a beaded structure by tuning the solvent ratio and operating parameters during fabrication. Results showed that increasing N, N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) acetone used prepare solution, micron-sized beads can be created w...

Functional polymeric membranes with antibacterial properties have gained significant importance in many applications. Silver NPs offer advantage over other materials for their effective and being safer humans at low concentrations. The synthesis of silver may not always be environmental friendly incorporation the polymer is usually a multistep process. In this study, PVDF/PVP/AgNPs electrospun ...
