Fabrication of PVDF ultrafiltration membrane using modified thermally induced phase separation: the role of amphiphilic and hydrophilic non-solvents by Chen, Ningyuan, Zhao, Jie, Shi, Lei, Goto, Atsushi, Wang, Rong

“…In this study, water-insoluble dimethyl phthalate (DMP) was used as the main diluent to rule out the effect of diluent outflow. The amphiphilic pore former polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) failed to open pores on the outer surface of the membranes because of its amphiphilic nature. …”
