Polyphenylene Sulfide-Based Membranes: Recent Progress and Future Perspectives

Abstract

As a special engineering plastic, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) can also be used to prepare membranes for membrane separation processes, adsorption, and catalytic and battery separators because of its unique properties, such as corrosion resistance, and chemical and thermal stability. Nowadays, many researchers have developed various types of PPS membranes, such as the PPS flat membrane, PPS microfiber membrane and PPS hollow fiber membrane, and have even achieved special functional modifications. In this review, the synthesis and modification of PPS resin, the formation of PPS membrane and the research progress of functional modification methods are systematically introduced, and the future perspective of PPS membrane is discussed.
