Phase inversion or phase separation is a chemical phenomenon exploited in the fabrication of artificial membranes. It is performed by removing the solvent from a liquid-polymer solution, …

Phase inversion is defined as a multilateral technique used to derive membranes, particularly asymmetric membranes, from a homogeneous polymer solution, where external stimuli such …

This review focuses on the recent development (past 10 years) of antifouling membranes via this method and uses different phase-inversion processes including liquid-induced phase …

During the phase inversion process, a thermodynami-cally stable polymer solution is transformed from a liquid into a solid state in a controlled manner. This solidification is pre-ceded by a …

The phase inversion method is most commonly used for the synthesis of polymeric membranes; it produces two distinct phases consisting of a polymer, solvent, and other additives by …

Phase inversion is a facile and cost-effective method to prepare porous polymer membranes and was developed by Loeb and Sourirajan in 1962. The phase inversion represents the …

There are four basic techniques used to create phase inversion membranes: precipitation from vapor phase, precipitation by controlled evaporation, thermally induced phase separation, and …

Aug 1, 2015 · Here, we review the different approaches on phase inversion and highlight some related applications, including future and emerging perspectives.

Achieving phase inversion by changing temperature is the so-called "phase inversion temperature" (PIT) method (Shinoda & Arai, 1964), where miscibility of the two phases plays a …

In this paper the phase inversion is proposed as an application method for organic polymers such as coatings and consolidants, or to to protect ceramic during the filling and casting of missing …
