This study focuses on the modification of com. polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) method. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) was grafted from PVDF surface and then PEGMA was grafted onto the PVDF-g-PNIPAAm membrane. The aim of the research was to prepare membranes that simultaneously have antifouling and self-cleaning properties. PNIPAAm (lower block) was grafted to give the membrane temperature sensitive property and PPEGMA (upper block) was used to improve hydrophilicity. Morphol., topog. and chem. composition of the modified membranes were completely characterized. Antifouling and cleaning ability of modified membranes were investigated using synthetic oily water. Moreover, the role of PEGMA polymerization time on the membrane performance was examined PNIPAAm-b-PPEGMA modified membrane achieved 64% decrease in fouling ratio compared to unmodified PVDF membrane at best condition. The flux recovery was 99.1% for modified membrane at this condition. Furthermore, the unmodified PVDF membrane showed 91.1% oil rejection; while the modified membrane could reject 98.2% oil mols. The final flux of all modified membranes were higher than unmodified membrane. These results indicated that PNIPAAm-b-PPEGMA modified membranes have excellent fouling resistance and self-cleaning ability. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Synthetic Route of C12H12N2)
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.Synthetic Route of C12H12N2 Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.
