Abstract: Abstract In this work, surface-modifying amphiphilic additives (SMAAs) were synthesized via hydrosilylation using various polymethylhydrosiloxanes (PMHS) and allyl-terminated polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethers (APEG) of varying molecular weights. The additives synthesized were incorporated into a hydrophobic,… read more here.

Abstract: The optimal engineering of the surface properties was performed for poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane with hydrophobic surface-modifying macromolecules (SMMs). For this aim, new hydrophobic SMM additives were synthesized using polyurethane chemistry and characterized for water… read more here.
