AB  - In this work, a poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP) mixed-matrix membrane 
      was fabricated for the selective removal of 1-butanol from aqueous solutions 
      through pervaporation. Silica nanoparticles (SNPs), which were surface-modified 
      with surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), were incorporated into 
      the structure of the membrane. The modified membrane was characterized by 
      thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), contact angle 
      measurements, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. It was found that 
      the surface hydrophobicity of the membrane was improved when compared to neat 
      PTMSP by contact angle measurement. It was confirmed by SEM analysis that a 
      uniform distribution of surface-modified SNPs throughout the PTMSP membrane was 
      achieved. The thermogravimetric analysis detected the thermal degradation of the 
      modified PTMSP at 370  degrees C, which is comparable to neat PTMSP. The pervaporation 
      measurements showed a maximum separation factor of 126 at 63  degrees C for 1.5 w/w% 
      1-butanol in the feed. The maximum total flux of approximately 1.74 
      mg.cm(-2).min(-1) was observed with the highest inspected temperature of 63  degrees C 
      and at the 1-butanol concentration in the feed 4.5 w/w%. The pervaporation 
      transients showed that the addition of the surface-modified SNPs significantly 
      enhanced the diffusivity of 1-butanol in the composite compared to the neat PTMSP 
      membrane. This improvement was attributed to the influence of the well-dispersed 
      SNPs in the PTMSP matrix, which introduced an additional path for diffusivity.
