Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)is swelling and poor stability when it is made of membrane material
however
graphene oxide (GO)has good chemical stability. PVA/GO composite membranes with different GO content are prepared in this research
and PVA as the main raw material
GO for additives
PEG as the pore
adopting blending method. The hydrophilicity and pure water flux of the membrane are measured by the optical contact angle measuring instrument and the ultra filtration cup
and morphology
thermal and mechanical properties are characterized by SEM
IR
TGA and so on. The results showed that:addition of GO improve the internal channel
the hydrophilicity
anti-fouling property and the pure water flux
meanwhile
the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the membrane are improved. When the content of GO was 2%
the comprehensive performance of the membrane is optimized.
