The effect of flower-like tatania towards characteristics and performance of polysulfone mixed matrix membrane

For ages, the polymeric membrane such as PSf is widely used in liquid separation for various application as the polymer itself offer versatile and attractive properties. However, due to strong hydrophobic nature of PSf property that create serious fouling problem to most of the separation process, t...
