Abstract:
Block copolymer membranes are an exciting class of materials used to separate small contaminants from water. Covalent cross-linking of the membrane matrix is one approach to alleviate stability issues, which limit their application nowadays. In the current work, membranes from amphiphilic block copolymers are manufactured and cross-linked using a UV-active radical initiator moiety.
