Abstract

Casting of a novel polyetherimide-sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) membrane onto a non-woven support layer to improve mechanical strength and robustness of the resulting membrane is studied. The resultant membrane performance is optimised by considering the phase inversion parameters of polymer...
