Abstract PVDF microporous membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation ( TIPS) method. gamma-Butyrolactone (gamma-BA), Propylene carbonate ( PC), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Dibutyl sebacate (KD) were used as diluents, and ethanol as extractant. The melting temperatures and crystallization temperatures of different PVDF/diluent systems were determined using difference scanning calorimeter (DSC). Membrane cross-section morphologies from different systems were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effects of diluent, cooling rate, and polymer concentration on the polymer crystallization and membrane cross-section morphology were investigated in detail.
