Anti-fouling polyimide/Ag nanofiber membranes prepared by using silver (I) carbamate

Dankook University, South Korea
Polyimide/Ag nanofiber membranes were made by electrospinning poly (amic acid) containing a dash of silver (I) carbamate,
followed by simply thermal reduction and imidization of poly (amic acid). Poly (amic acid) solutions were prepared from
3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) into dimethylformamide (DMF).
Through thermal curing cycle, the silver-doped polyimide nanofiber membranes progress silver reduction. These process
leads to high thermal stability, abrasion resistant and antifouling property. The polyimide/Ag nanofiber membranes were
characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
(EDS), UV-Vis, FT-IR and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA).
