Abstract Through sequential electrospinning, a sandwich Janus membrane (PU-(CA/PU)-CA) was constructed with hydrophobic polyurethane (PU) nanofiber membrane as the top layer, cellulose acetate/polyurethane (CA/PU) blend nanofiber membrane as the intermediate transition layer and hydrophilic cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiber membrane as the bottom layer. The effects of membrane structure, composition and thickness on the mechanical properties, permeability and separation ability of PU-(CA/PU)-CA nanofiber membrane were studied. The results show that the transition sandwich structure PU-(CA/PU)-CA membrane has good mechanical properties, high permeability and selective separation ability, and can realize the unidirectional transmission of water and efficient oil-water separation. When the membrane thickness is 80 μm, the hydraulic permeability is 3.4×104 L/(m2 h bar), the oil-water separation efficiency reaches 99%, and the tensile strength is 95.8% higher than that of the double-layer PU-CA membrane without intermediate transition layer. The thermal stability and antifouling ability of PU-(CA/PU)-CA nanofiber membrane have also been improved, and the reusability is good. CA/PU transition interlayer improves the interfacial compatibility between CA and PU nanofiber membrane, enhances the performance of PU-(CA/PU)-CA nanofiber Janus membrane, and shows its application prospect in the field of separation and purification.

ABSTRACTIncompatible polymer blends are known to have inadequate mechanical properties due to poor adhesion and high interfacial tension between the phases. One such blend that displays this type of behavior is the cellulose acetate-polystyrene blend and is typical of lignocellulosic-synthetic polymer blend systems. Tailor-made cellulose acetate-polystyrene graft copolymers have been synthesized and used as compatibilizers (emulsifiers) to reduce the interfacial tension and improve interfacial mixing. Thermal analyses and morphological studies of the blends with and without the graft copolymer demonstrated that this was indeed the case.

Two series of novel integral asymmetric monophasic hybrid membranes, cellulose acetate/silica/titania (CA/SiO2/TiO2—series 1) and cellulose acetate/titania (CA/TiO2—series 2), were developed by the coupling of sol-gel technology and a modified version of the phase inversion technique. SEM micrographs confirmed the integral asymmetric structure of all membranes. ATR-FTIR and ICP-OES results showed that, for the membranes in series 1, TiO2 is covalently bound to SiO2, which, in turn, is covalently bound to CA, while for the membranes in series 2, TiO2 is directly and covalently bound to the CA matrix. Permeation experiments revealed that the permeation performance of the membranes in series 1 is unaffected by the introduction of TiO2. In contrast, the introduction of TiO2 in the series 2 membranes increased the hydraulic permeability by a factor of at least 2 when compared to the pristine CA membrane and that incremental additions of TiO2 further increased the Lp.
