Polymeric membranes are an energy‐efficient means of purifying water, but they suffer from
fouling during filtration. Modification of the membrane surface is one route to mitigating …

Fouling is the deposition of retained particles, colloids, macromolecules, salts, etc., at the
membrane surface or inside the pore at the pore wall. Fouling reduces the membrane flux …

The surface structures and properties of a membrane largely determine its in-service
performance during a filtration process. Here we report a facile hydrophilization method via …

The development of porous polymeric membranes is an important area of application in
separation technology. This article summarizes the development of porous polymers from …

This review aims to cover the state of the art of renewable feedstock use in materials
production using photopolymerization processes. This area of investigation is an emerging …

The development in the area of surface modification of polymeric synthetic membranes
since 2000 is reviewed. Many patents, articles, and reviews have been written on the …

The anti-biofouling properties, ie the resistance to protein adsorption and the inhibition of
bacterial adhesion (biofilm formation) are of vital importance to separation membranes …

The recent developments in combining photo-irradiation-based and membrane
technologies are analyzed in this review. It is emphasized that the effects of photo-initiated …

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most used polymers for microporous membrane fabrication
due to its good thermal stability, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and low cost …

Humanity is facing a global challenge of dwindling water resources and the situation is
intensifying due to growing population leading to excessive water pollution. Nanofiltration is …
