Abstract
A method for preparing the network-pore polyvinylidene fluoride membrane based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel includes the steps of (1) mix and stir PVA, masking agent and solvent, heat and dissolve the mixture evenly under 105 degree Celsius to obtain a PVA solution; (2) in the PVA solution, add PVDF and pore-forming agent, where the rest shall be added with the solvent until the total mass fraction sum is 1, stir, heat and dissolve the solution evenly to obtain the homogeneous casting solution; (3) the casting solution is filtered, deaerated, phase-separated and solidified as membrane A; (4) removes the PVA gel from membrane A to obtain membrane B; (5) membrane B is washed with water to remove the residual solvent to obtain the PVDF membrane with network-pore structure. The resulting PVDF membrane is an asymmetric membrane with an ultra-thin cortex and an interpenetrating network-pore sub-cortex structure.
