Removal of 1,2‐dichloroethane from aqueous solutions with novel composite polydimethylsiloxane pervaporation membranes

Abstract Composite pervaporation membranes were prepared by the crosslinking of H‐terminated oligosilylstyrene (oligo‐SiH 3 ) and vinyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (vinyl‐PDMS) on the surface of polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes. The morphology of the composite pervaporation membranes were investigated through changes in the mass ratio of oligo‐SiH 3 to vinyl‐PDMS. The pervaporation of crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane composite …
