Development of PSF/APTES-nano-MCM-48 Mixed Matrix Membrane for CO2/CH4 Separation

The incorporation of inorganic fillers into polymer matrix forms mixed matrix membrane (MMM). Generally, due to the low hydrophobicity of inorganic fillers, undesirable voids are formed on the polymer-inorganic interface, which affects the gas separation performance of the MMMs. In addition to th...
