Abstract

Understanding the morphological structure of membranes is essential to improve performance of membrane-based applications. In this paper, macroporous membranes were investigated and two methods introduced as an alternative for characterization of stereo-structure of the membranes. We combined the use of synchrotron X-ray nanotomography and small-angle X-ray scattering to examine the internal structure of cellulose acetate membranes with studies of the capture of surface-modified gold nanoparticles within these membranes. Finally, the morphological structures of macroporous membranes were visualized and their relationships with penetration tendency of surface-modified gold nanoparticles were explained.
