Zeolite filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as an improved membrane for solvent-resistant nanofiltration (SRNF).
Due to the shape-selectivity of the pores and the induced polymer crosslinking, zeolite filled elastomers are excellent solvent-resistant nanofiltration membranes with enhanced fluxes and retentions compared to commercial membranes, allowing use in non-polar solvents and at high temperatures.
