Fabrication of mixed matric membrane incorporated with modified silica nanoparticles for bisphenol a removal

The introduction of inorganic nanoparticles in polymeric dope solution for the fabrication process of membrane can potentially enhance the separation performances of membrane without negatively affecting its permeability. In this study, hollow fiber mixed matrix membranes were prepared by incorporat...
