Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is a material with excellent chemical resistance, and thermal and
mechanical stabilities. However, significant drawbacks of PBI that prevent its use as a …

Forward osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. The
driving force for water permeation through the membrane is the difference in osmotic …

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) is a chemically and thermally stable polymer, which is being
considered for forward osmosis (FO) seawater desalination in regions with high seawater …

To develop high-flux and high-rejection forward osmosis (FO) membranes for water reuses
and seawater desalination, we have fabricated polybenzimidazole (PBI) nanofiltration (NF) …

This research study aimed to synthesize polybenzimidazole (PBI) FO flat sheet membranes
for seawater desalination in high temperature and salinity regions like the UAE. The …

For the first time, the potential of polybenzimidazole (PBI) nanofiltration membrane as a
forward osmosis membrane has been investigated. PBI was chosen mainly because of its …

The structure-property relationships of polybenzimidazole (PBI) reverse osmosis (RO)
membranes are important in process optimization. The membrane transport properties are …

High-performance polybenzimidazole (PBI) hollow-fiber membranes (HFMs) were fabricated
through a continuous dry-jet wet spinning process at SRI International. By adjusting the …

We report successful synthesis of three types of pyridine bridged tetraamine (PyTAB)
monomers namely PyTAB-COOH, PyTAB-OH and PyTAB-CF 3 where additional functional …

Polybenzimidizole (PBI) is a promising material for membrane separations due to its high
mechanical and thermal stabilities. Two drawbacks that can hinder the use of PBI …
