Abstract

Abstract:

Interfacial polymerization technology was widely used in the preparation of separation membranes due to its excellent performance， such as mild reaction conditions， strong controllability， self⁃sealing and self⁃termination， etc. This paper introduced the principle of interfacial polymerization technology and the applications of interfacial polymerization in membrane separation， including nanofiltration membrane， reverse osmosis membrane， and gas separation membrane. The application status of interfacial polymerization technology in microcapsules， conductive polymers， and fiber materials were discussed. The research direction of the preparation of separation membranes using an interfacial polymerization technology was prospected.

Key words: interfacial polymerization, separation membrane, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, gas separation
