Abstract
Desalination is an optimistic approach to offering an abundant and consistent source of fresh water. Water desalination through membrane distillation is a developing procedure and needs hydrophobic membranes with an enormously low empathy toward water molecules. Fluoropolymers display high hydrophobicity due to the existence of fluorine groups. This study explores fluoropolymer membrane performance, mainly polyvinylidene fluoride and polytetrafluoroethylene. Several works have concentrated on enhancing the hydrophobicity of the membrane which further boosts the desalination competence of the membrane distillation procedure. This chapter explores the fabrication, characterization, and applications of fluoropolymer/polymer composites, fluoropolymer/carbon composites, and fluoropolymer/metal oxide composites used for desalination applications.
