Synthesis of PVC thin film nanocomposite membranes and investigation oftheir performance

In this study, nanocomposite thin film membranes based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) werefabricated.A thin layer of sodium alginate (SA) containing MXene nanosheets was deposited on themembranes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to evaluate thefunctionalization of MXene and modification of membrane surface. The addition of MXenenanosheets to the SA layer enhanced the membrane's hydrophilicity, salt rejection, and mechanicalproperties. The properties and morphology of the nanocomposite membranes were evaluated usingFT-IR, contact angle, SEM, AFM, TGA, BET, and swelling analyses. Finally, the membrane'sperformance in dye and salt removal was assessed.
