Membrane properties of pristine TFC and TFN membranes.
Parameters | Contact angle of TFC membranes (°) | Porosity (%) | RMSa (nm) | R a b (nm) | R max/10c (nm) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
TFC | 65 ± 8 | 36 ± 7 | 112 ± 13 | 91.4 ± 3 | 79.5 ± 7 |
TFN-S | 56 ± 5 | 55 ± 13 | 93.8 ± 5 | 72.9 ± 9 | 74.3 ± 16 |
TFN-A | 41 ± 6 | 34 ± 9 | 77.3 ± 11 | 61.7 ± 6 | 57.2 ± 11 |
TFN-S + A | 36 ± 4 | 53 ± 6 | 70.6 ± 8 | 54.6 ± 4 | 52.8 ± 7 |
RMS is the root mean square of roughness.
R a is the representative average roughness.
R max is the representative maximum roughness.
