Abstract

A series of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/layered double hydroxide (LDH) composite membranes were prepared via phase inversion method, in which the presence of LDH promotes the formation of β-phase PVDF. This work reveals the key role of hydrogen-bonds on the nucleation mechanism and crystallization behavior of PVDF. The composite membranes exhibit improved porosity and hydrophilicity, leading to an enhanced antifouling property against proteins.
