Hi,
Does anyone know where to buy composite hollow fiber membranes/modules with a thin layer of PDMS??
most of the suppliers have thick PDMS membranes with thickness from 50 to 100 micrometer. however i am looking for composite membranes with a selective PDMS layer less than 5 micrometer.
Cheers
Dear Hesamoddin,
I don't know where to buy composite hollow fiber membranes with a selective PDMS layer less than 5 micrometers. Nevertheless, I read some works with PDMS with these characteristics, as a matter of fact, I built PDMS with lower thickness than 5 micrometers in my master thesis. In these works, the PDMS layer was built using dip coating.
If you can fabricate on your own, obtaining thinner PDMS layers is possible by diluting it with a solvent. I used toluene before, but similar solvents can be used as well.
