Polymeric membranes are an energy‐efficient means of purifying water, but they suffer from
fouling during filtration. Modification of the membrane surface is one route to mitigating …

Abstract Poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) membranes have been extensively applied to
scientific research and industrial process due to its outstanding properties such as high …

Fouling is the deposition of retained particles, colloids, macromolecules, salts, etc., at the
membrane surface or inside the pore at the pore wall. Fouling reduces the membrane flux …

This paper presents an overview on recent developments in surface modification of polymer
membranes for reduction of their fouling with biocolloids and organic colloids in pressure …

This focused review addresses the fundamental development of nonfouling zwitterionic poly
(sulfobetaine methacrylate)(polySBMA) coatings on a wide range of interfaces and …

Due to the flexibility of operation, high removal ability, and economic cost, separation
membranes have proved to be one of the most significant technologies in various aspects …

This work studied modification of hydrophobic membrane by chitosan solution for the
purpose of reducing protein fouling. The membrane used was flatsheet …

Polymeric hydrogels are a most interesting class of “soft matter” with several established and
many more possible applications as functional materials. In this review we will focus on the …

Superhydrophobic biological fluid‐repellent surfaces (SBFRSs) have attracted great
attention in the treatment of blood and urine‐related diseases because of their unique …

The zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) was grafted on the surface of poly
(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) membrane via ozone surface activation and surface-initiated …
