A highly electrically conductive polymer–multiwalled carbon nanotube nanocomposite membrane

Electrically conductive polymeric ultrafiltration membranes were fabricated by pressure filtering a thin layer of poly(vinyl alcohol) – cross-linked with carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and succinic acid – onto a support membrane. The effect of the degree of cross-linking and that of CNT concentration on the performance of these membranes was evaluated. These membranes demonstrated high pure water flux with good particle …
