APPLICATION OF CARBON NANOTUBES OR CARBON PARTICLES ONTO HOLLOW FIBER POLYMERIC MATERIALS

摘要

Methods for generating carbon mats on the inner surface of hollow fiber membranes are disclosed, along with such modified fiber membranes, and methods of use thereof. A method comprises: providing a plurality of carbon nanotubes and/or carbon particles suspended in a solution to form a suspension; providing one or more polymeric hollow fiber membranes, wherein the one or more polymeric hollow fiber membranes have at least one open end in fluid communication with a lumen, and wherein the lumen defines an inner surface of the one or more polymeric hollow fiber membranes; dispensing the suspension in the at least one open end of the one or more polymeric hollow fiber membranes; and filtering the suspension of carbon nanotubes and/or carbon particles through the one or more polymeric hollow fiber membranes.
