Abstract
The development of polymer-based membranes for modern technology applications has attracted much attention due to their cost-effectiveness, large production possibility, desirable permeation and selectivity, and the possibility of controlling and engineering the determinative properties such as pore size, permeability, wettability, surface charge, thermal resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical stability in the polymeric membranes. In this chapter, our primary objective is the investigation of different kinds of polymeric materials, natural, and synthetic polymers, as well as their significant potential for application in diverse membrane technologies. Due that the main focus of this book is the preparation of the polymeric membranes via the phase inversion method, we tried to investigate those polymers either natural or synthetic, which have the possibility to be prepared via the facile phase inversion method. Finally, various strategies and modification methods such as improving membranes hydrophilicity, improving the membrane's chemical and mechanical resistance, modifying the charge of the membrane surface, fluorination treatment, and preparation of the improved polymer-based composite are proposed to improve the polymeric membrane's principal properties.
