Dependency of polyacrylonitrile membrane structures on Hansen solubility parameters during non-solvent induced phase separation

Jin Li et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the preparation of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based membranes using non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. The relationships between coagulation conditions, membrane structures, and Hansen solubility parameters are thoroughly analyzed.
