Abstract
The poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/chitin (CH) blend membranes were prepared by the immersion phase inversion method using N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc)/lithium chloride (LiCl) as the co-solvent. It was found that blending CH with PVDF allowed membranes to have a better hydrophilicity, penetrability, antifouling and antibacterial performance. In order to improve the performance of PVDF/CH blend membranes further, water/ethanoic acid (HAc) solutions with different compositions were employed as coagulation baths. The effects of HAc volume percentage in coagulation baths on the surface composition, morphology, wettability, water flux, antifouling and antibacterial property of PVDF/CH membrane were investigated. The results indicated that the content of CH on the surface of the membrane increased with the increase of HAc concentration in coagulation baths, which contributed to an improvement of hydrophilicity. The increasing HAc content in coagulation baths also led to a change from finger-like pores to sponge-like pores and a decrease of porosity for PVDF/CH blend membranes. When increasing HAc concentration, the antifouling performance of the blend membranes was improved. Meanwhile, the amidogen of CH on PVDF/CH membrane surfaces could suppress the growth of bacteria, and the blend membrane showed an improved antibacterial performance with the volume ratio of HAc increasing.
