研究目的
Investigating the use of silica nanofibrous membranes for the separation of heterogeneous azeotropes through direct electrospinning of a sol-gel solution without a sacrificing polymer.
研究成果
Silica nanofibrous membranes produced by direct electrospinning of a sol-gel solution without a sacrificing polymer exhibit high thermal and chemical resistance, making them suitable for high-end separation and purification. The water repellent or absorbing nature can be effectively tuned, enabling fast gravity-driven membrane separation of heterogeneous azeotropes.
研究不足
The study focuses on the separation of heterogeneous azeotropes and may not be directly applicable to other types of mixtures. The scalability of the electrospinning process for industrial applications is not discussed.
