Abstract
⺠Polytetrafluroethylene membranes were evaluated for wetting behavior under MD conditions. ⺠Liquid entry pressure (LEP) of pure and salty water was investigated at elevated temperatures. ⺠Temperature effect on membranes microstructure and stability was investigated in relation to LEP. ⺠Study revealed internal stresses relaxation in the fibrils of the PTFE membranes with temperature. ⺠This relaxation leads to change in pore geometry affecting LEP.
