Table 3 Comparison of porosity and water contact angle of the membrane from PET bottle and those from PET resin without additive

From: Improved permeate flux and rejection of ultrafiltration membranes prepared from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle waste

Membrane Polymer source Porosity
(%)
Water contact angle (°)
Membrane - PET bottle Used PET bottle 69.7 ± 0.5 65.5 ± 1.4
Membrane - PET resin PET resin 71.0 ± 1.2 65.8 ± 1.1
