In this study, a novel process to modify thin-film-composite polyamide membrane was developed. It involved surface treatment of the polyamide membrane by chlorine, followed by supramolecular assembly of chitosan on the membrane surface. While the original polyamide membrane was negatively charged, t

The surface of aromatic polyamide reverse osmosis composite membrane was modified by oxygen and argon plasma. The water permeability of oxygen-plasmamodified membrane increases, and the chlorine resistance of argon-plasma-modified membrane increases. The spectra of the attenuated total reflection-Fo
Membrane separation characteristics in the nanofiltration \((\mathrm{NF})\) and reverse osmosis \((\mathrm{RO})\) regions of the filtration spectrum are governed by a complex combination of both steric hindrance and surface force interactions. NF and RO membranes having surface charges show unusual
With bicarboxylic acids as crosslinking agents and H,SO, as catalyst, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was crosslinked in the temperature range of 90-12O"C, resulting in thin-film composite membranes with polysulphone as substrate. IR analysis showed that crosslinking changes the chemical structure of PVA,
