Effects of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molecular weight on performance of PDMS/ceramic composite membranes
Abstract(#br)The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molecular weights on the pervaporation performance and the confinement behavior of PDMS/ceramic composite membranes for the separation of ethanol from aqueous solutions by pervaporation. PDMS with three different molecular weights was used to prepare PDMS/ceramic composite membranes.
