"Air-to-air enthalpy exchangers: Membrane modification using metal-orga" by Ahmed K. Albdoor, Zhenjun Ma et al.
Air-to-air membrane enthalpy exchanger is one of the environmentally friendly technologies that has been increasingly used in the building sector to recover the waste energy due to ventilation. In this study, we report the development of a facile approach for the deposition of a thin layer of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) ZIF-8 and HKUST-1 on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes in order to improve their water vapour transport properties. Material characterisation and properties determination were carried out for the tested membranes. It was shown that the surface hydrophilicity of t...
