Poly(ether ether ketone) solutions suitable for microfiltration membrane preparation

Poly(ether ether ketone) shows high stability against chemical and physical agents but is poorly soluble in most common solvents. We tested new solvents to obtain concentrated solutions that we used to prepare microfiltration membranes by the phase‐inversion technique. The prepared membranes were tested by the filtration of oily emulsions, and their structure was studied with scanning electron microscopy. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
