A study on the fabrication of porous PVDF membranes by in-situ elimination and their applications in separating oil/water mixtures and nano-emulsions

A free-standing thin & porous PVDF membrane with interconnected network structures was prepared via tape-casting and in-situ elimination, providing a new avenue for porous polymeric membrane fabrication in membrane science and showing significant applications in both water/oil mixture and nanoscale emulsion separation.250
