In an effort to enhance the wetting resistance and chemical stability of membrane contactors, silica nanoparticles (SiNP) have been incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. These SiNP have been hydrophobically functionalized with three separate organosilicons (hexamethyldisilane, d...
