Biodegradable polymer

Biodegradable polymer/layered silicate nanocomposite membranes were prepared by solution casting method for the application of dehumidification and gas separation. The intercalation and exfoliation of clay in the prepared nanocomposite membranes were confirmed through X-ray diffraction study (XRD).

Biodegradable filtration membranes can be applied in food and biochemical processes to clarify products or to yield particles from suspensions, and then degrade in composting processes. In this study we developed microfiltration membranes from a polymer blend of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(L
