MPD and TMC supply as parameters to describe synthesis-morphology-performance relationships of polyamide thin film composite membranes

Ines Nulens et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the influence of interfacial polymerization on the morphology and performance of polyamide thin film composite (TFC) membranes, considering varying monomer concentrations and organic phases with different physico-chemical characteristics. Two new descriptors, 'MPD supply' and 'TMC supply', are introduced to describe the synthesis-structure-performance relationship of polyamide TFC membranes. The study finds that well-performing membranes can be prepared until one of the monomers is added in excess, which depends on the interplay of MPD and TMC supply. The insights provided in this study can contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of reverse osmosis membrane synthesis and operation.

Polyamide nanofilms synthesized by a sequential process of blade coating-spraying-interfacial polymerization toward reverse osmosis

Yu-Ren Xue et al.

Summary: We report a sequential process of blade coating-spraying-interfacial polymerization for scalable preparation of high-performance desalination polyamide nanofilms. Our strategy highly reduces the utilization of organic solvents to meet the demands of lower carbon footprint. The synthesized polyamide nanofilms exhibit extremely low roughness and can be composited with various porous substrates. The as-prepared TFC membranes represent a high desalination performance of water permeance of 1.89 L m⁻² h⁻¹ bar⁻¹ with 97.4% NaCl rejection. Our strategy broadens the way to large-scale synthesis of polyamide nanofilms for high-efficiency desalination membranes.
