In this work the studies were performed on the intensity of fouling of the membrane NF90 and NF270 depending on the value of dynamic contact angle, previously determined for these membrane. The NF membranes were used for the separation of broth obtained during the fermentation of glycerol by Lactobacilluscasei bacteria. The measurements of dynamic contact angle were carried out using the Wilhelmy plate method. Taped membranes samples (support layer to support layer), wetted for 2 days in deionized water prior to testing, were used to study the contact angle of top layer and its organic fouling. Using deionized water; the contact angle values equal to 27-30o and 53-57o for NF270 and NF90, respectively, were obtained. As a consequence of adsorption of organic compound on the membrane surfaces, the contact angle obtained for both fouled membranes was about 55-56o, and this value was closer to the contact angle of non-fouled NF90 membrane. Therefore, the NF90 membrane was more resistant to organic fouling during the separation of broth.

Triethoxysilyl functionalized hyperbranched polsiloxysilanes at the focal (FT-HBPSs) and terminal (TT-HBPSs) positions were synthesized to investigate adsorption behavior onto a silicon wafer surface. The surface of the silicon wafer adsorbed with the HBPSs was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), static and dynamic water contact angle measurements. The AFM images indicated the formation size of dot-like structures were approximately 200 nm. The presence of vinyl terminal groups of FT-HBPSs permitted conversion of the surface from a non-polar hydrocarbon to a polar hydroxylated or carboxylated structures. After the polarity was changed, the surface properties were also studied using the above surface analysis techniques. The dynamic contact angle measurement indicated that the silicon wafer surface modified by FT-HBPSs was more hydrophilic in water than TT-HBPS. This behavior can be explained by the difference of connecting points between HBPS and the silicon wafer surface.
