“…Thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes have been fabricated in both flat sheet [136,[142][143][144]146,147,150,151,155,159,161,163,164,170,[172][173][174] and hollow fiber [133,134,171] configurations for application in FO desalination. Almost all of these membranes have been fabricated using the conventional technique for preparing TFC polyamide RO membranes, i.e., phase inversion (for porous substrate preparation) followed by interfacial polymerization (for formation of polyamide active layer).…”
