Abstract
gases was performed to further support the effect of tuned PVDF membranes with different micro/nanostructured morphologies. The gas performance demonstrated ultrahigh permeability and a several-fold greater than the Knudsen separation factor. The results demonstrate a facile and inexpensive approach can be successfully applied for the tailoring of the PVDF membranes to predict and design the resulting membrane structure.
