COMPOSITE MEMBRANE

摘要

A method of forming a composite membrane (104) comprising particles of a filler material (110) in a polymer matrix (114) is described. In an example, the method includes the steps of: providing a support surface (100); applying particles of filler material onto the support surface to form an array of particles (110) and interspaces (112) between the particles; and applying matrix material to the filler material on the support surface such that matrix material (114) is applied in interspaces. By applying the particles to the surface, followed by the application of the matrix material, in some examples a more desirable distribution of the particles in the final membrane may be achieved.
