Abstract:Commercial polymer membranes are largely utilized to separate oil/water mixtures, however membrane fouling, flux decline and short lifetime often inhibit their high performance. In order to resolve these drawbacks of the commercial membranes, we introduce a surface modification strategy following the electrospinning method. Electrospun fibers of polysulfone (PSf)/iron oxide (FeO)/halloysite nanotubes (HNT) nanocomposite is applied to modify the polyether sulfone (PES) standard membrane support surface for deve… Show more
