A review on microporous polyvinylidene fluoride membranes fabricated via thermally induced phase separation for MF/UF application

To date, remarkable success has been achieved in the fabrication and industrialization of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes both in lab-scale and full-scale via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method for microfiltration/ultrafiltration (MF/UF) applications in water treatment. This article provides a comprehensive and heuristic overview of the fabrication, development, and industrialization of PVDF microporous membranes via...
