| Abstract | This study aimed to develop an effective method to fabricate the amphiphobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite membranes for membrane distillation (MD) with excellent tolerance to various organic foulants. A facial surface modification method was explored to obtain amphiphobic membranes with mechanical and thermal robustness by dynamically forming perfluorooctyl trichlorosilane (PFTS) and coating SiO2 nanoparticles onto the membrane surface. A variety of techniques such as environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron |
