Relationship between surface hydrophobicity and flux for membrane separation

Surface hydrophobicity of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes was controlled via carbon coating using the CVD method or O 2 plasma treatment with insignificant changes of pore diameter. This study first demonstrated that a larger hydrophobic pore surface and hydrophilic membrane surface are favora...

Summary:Surface hydrophobicity of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes was controlled via carbon coating using the CVD method or O 2 plasma treatment with insignificant changes of pore diameter. This study first demonstrated that a larger hydrophobic pore surface and hydrophilic membrane surface are favorable for developing high performance membranes. This study demonstrated that hydrophobic pore surfaces and hydrophilic membrane surfaces are more favorable in enhancing water flux, providing an important insight into the development of high performance membranes.
