Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes, enhanced with metal-organic framework (MOF), were fabricated on a non-woven polyethylene terephthalate (PET) support using the non-solvent induced phase inversion (NIPS) method to produce mixed matrix membrane (MMM). Polymer concentration of 10%, 15%, and 20% were used in the study whereas UiO-66(Zr) was used as a MOF filler. The resulting membranes were characterized in terms of their morphology, porosity, wettability, mechanical strength, pure water flux, and gas permeability. Results show that the presence of UiO-66(Zr) filler improved membrane morphology, mechanical strength, and hydrophobicity of MMM as compared to pristine PVDF.

Microporous aluminum fumarate (A520) is one of the very few metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that have been promoted to the level of commercial applications and has recently been proven to exhibit a rigid character with an accessible permanent porosity. This study explored the maximum loading amount of A520 for mixed matrix membrane (MMM) preparation by blending it with polyimide (PI) using N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent, without compromising the membrane integrity. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that MOFs were able to infiltrate the pores and structures of the polymer, improving the interface and mechanical properties of the polymer, as supported by different characterizations like dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Results showed that MOF loading beyond 10wt% revealed aggregations that compromised the integrity of the membrane.

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy was used to study the free-volume parameters in various pure -, - and -cyclodextrins samples and, in the case of β-cyclodextrin, with inclusion of S-carvone and thymoquinone. The results clearly indicate the presence of long lifetime components related to Ps-formation. The data show that the addition of S-carvone to β-cyclodextrin results in a decrease of o-Ps lifetime that we ascribe to a reduction of free volume holes from 81.8 to 63.7 Å3. The long lifetime component disappears when thymoquinone is added to -cyclodextrin, indicating this substance acts as an o-Ps quencher. For all samples studied, a decrease in the long lifetime component values was observed with increasing source in situ time, a result that might be attributed to the irradiation of the sample by the 22Na positron source.
