Preparation and Characterization of Pore Filled Hybrid Composite Membrane Composed of Cation Exchange Materials and Polyethylene Support
This study investigated ion exchange membranes for application to seawater desalination processes. This can provide better energy efficiency than the conventional reverse osmosis process. In this experiment, the problem of decreasing ion exchange performance when the ion exchange composite
membrane was prepared could be improved through nanoparticles. The nanoparticle added ion exchange hybrid membrane showed ion exchange capacity similar to that of the conventional pristine film. In addition, the polymer having a high ion exchange capacity has poor mechanical strength, but
has excellent mechanical strength of 30 MPa or more by the introduction of a polyethylene support.
