Composite nanofibrous membranes were prepared by the electrospinning and the thermal treatment from poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) blend solutions. The average diameter of nanofibers was reduced with increasing the concentration of TMOS in the solution due to the decrease of the solution viscosity. The EDX spectra confirmed the presence of TMOS on the external surface of the composite nanofibrous membrane. The porosity of membranes was effectively enhanced by the introduction of electrospinning technique. However, the mechanical properties, thermal stability and hydrophobicity were not markedly amplified. Thus the thermal treatment of the composite membranes was carried out, leading to the enormous enhancement of the mechanical properties and hydrophobicity. In addition, XRD results revealed that the crystal structure of PVDF in the composite membranes transformed from alpha-phase to beta-phase due to the formation of silica particles by the thermal treatment.
