Abstract

Interfacial polymerization (IP) is considered as an emerging technique for fabricating pervaporation (PV) membranes. Typically, PV membranes fabricated through IP achieve high separation efficiency and overall performance as they possess characteristics that play vital roles in defying the limiting trade-off between permeation flux and separation factor. There is a great deal of flexibility in the IP technique. Therefore, this article reviews evolving trends in developing PV membranes fabricated through IP in terms of methods of fabrication and modification strategies, active layer and membrane support selections, and potential industrial applications. Moreover, we also emphasized the free volume analysis of the membranes prepared through IP. Future plans for furthering IP as a fabrication technique for PV membranes are also explored.
