Abstract

Fiber humidity and fiber permeability were measured in 678 samples of polyvinylidenedifluoride based fiber membranes, and then their relationship was investigated. We found that this can be described by a three-variable regression function. For 220 samples, we examined the effect of rewetting prior to permeability measurement. The result was that soaking for at least 12 hours was required for the membrane to reach maximum permeability.
