“…), layered and porous nanomaterials (e.g., zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), etc.) [ 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ], and hybrid nanomaterials (which includes the combination of two or more materials) [ 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 ] in order to develop the hydrophilic characteristics and antifouling capability of membranes necessary for water treatment or their application in the biomedical field. Distinct from other methods, blending modification does not require any additional steps during the fabrication of polymeric membranes or mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), making it a relatively simple and fast method; hence, considerable attention has been given to this over the past decade as illustrated by the number of research publications in Figure 2 .…”
