Abstract

Controlling the porous structure of membranes is a main objective of membrane manufacturing. Much research effort has been devoted to the development of new techniques for meeting this objective. The application of strong electrical fields has been used to process or align polymers in different processing technologies such as electro-spinning for fabrication of nanofibers and electro-spraying for fabrication of ultrathin films. Here, we report that it is possible to convert microfiltration poly (vinylidene fluoride), PVDF membranes to ultrafiltration membranes by the application of strong electrical field.
