Abstract
In this study, polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was subjected to surface modification using hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) in radio frequency (RF) plasma system to improve its hydrophobic property for recovery of waste frying oil. Structural and morphological changes on the membrane surfaces were characterized by contact angle measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total...
