So far, membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) is still not fully understood due to
the complex nature of membrane foulants. The challenge to the study of membrane fouling …

In this paper, the principle and application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) are reviewed
and discussed in detail. Several scientific papers are used to find out data about AFM. The …

In recent years the technique of atomic force microscopy (AFM) has demonstrated a
versatility in the characterisation of surface morphology and interaction forces. It is a high …

Susceptibility to hydrodynamic and mechanical shear forces affects performance of cultured
cells of animals, plants, microalgae, and cyanobacteria. In addition, hydromechanical forces …

Nanofiltration polyethersulfone membrane has been modified by means of UV-initiated graft
polymerization technique using the weakly acidic monomer acrylic acid and the immersion …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) offers complementary imaging modes that can provide
morphological and structural details of red blood cells (RBCs), and characterize interactions …
