PVDF-CNT membranes were fabricated using thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) protocol. The membranes are extremely tensile, strong and robust. Membranes exhibit hydrophilic behavior with decreasing contact angle (CA < 90 degrees) in saline environment. Crystal study (XRD) of membranes reveals alpha-phased PVDF with hexagonal (002) oriented CNTs within the polymer matrix. The morphology (SEM) and thermal analysis (TGA) reveals that the material is made of several porous zones and the material is chemically and thermally stable up to 500 degrees C. Raman and FTIR spectrum shows ordered bands of the D and G with complete grafting of PVDF bonds with CNTs respectively.
