摘要
Polyimide (PI) has garnered increasing attention in the field of membrane technology owing to its excellent comprehensive performance. In this work, PI nanofibrous membranes with a controllable pore structure were fabricated by the thermal imidization of electrospun polyamide acid (PAA) nanofibrous membranes. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and poly(tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) particles were introduced into the PAA nanofibrous membrane with the aim of enhancing the membrane's hydrophobicity and regulating its pore structure by electrospraying the PTFE/FEP mixed aqueous dispersion. During the thermal imidization process, melt casting of FEP particles occurred, leading to the adhesion of PI nanofibrous membranes and subsequent regulation of the membrane's pore structure. Meanwhile, due to the imidization temperature being lower than PTFE’s melting temperature, the unmelted PTFE particles would further enhance the membrane’s hydrophobicity. We have successfully provided a novel method for fabricating PI nanofibrous membranes with controllable pore structures and excellent hydrophobicity to expand their applications in membrane separation. Owing to the hydrophobicity and lipophilicity, the obtained PI nanofibrous membranes were applied to oil-water (kerosene/water) separation to characterize the separation performance. The results showed that, following the regulation of the pore structure, the PI nanofibrous membranes exhibited a high oil flux (203.83 L/m2·h) and separation efficiency (>99.00%) without external pressure.
