Morphological structures of the developed membranes were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Spectroscopic analysis of the hybrid membranes were done by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows that the glass transition temperature (T g) increased from 209°C to 238°C in the hybrid membranes followed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) that showed significant improvement in thermal stability of the developed membranes. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84859012416&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.488-489.506&partnerID=40&md5=52c137e716ba3d29c5015944c46e996e id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.488-489.506 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 488-48 place_of_pub: Singapore pagerange: 506-510 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037853825 issn: 10226680 citation: Rafiq, S. and Man, Z. and Maulud, A. and Muhammad, N. and Maitra, S.
