  • Doping of inorganic minerals to hydrophobic membrane surface
    Patent number: 10940445
    Abstract: Disclosed is a membrane surface modification method. The method is applicable to a variety of hydrophobic membranes by doping selected inorganic particles. One act of the method involves the in-situ embedment of the inorganic particles onto the membrane surface by dispersing the particles in a non-solvent bath for polymer precipitation. Further membrane surface modification can be achieved by hydrothermally growing new inorganic phase on the embedded particles. The embedment of particles is for the subsequent phase growth.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2021
    Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG
    Inventors: Kaimin Shih, Xiao-Yan Li, Xiao-Mao Wang, Tong Zhang
