| description abstract | One of the most serious disadvantages of membrane applications in water treatment is the decreasing water permeation rate with time, which is often called fouling. This study investigates surface modification of polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes as a fouling reduction strategy for drinking water treatment applications. Surface modification was achieved through the addition of three different tailor-made hydrophilic surface modifying macromolecules (LSMM200, LSMM400, and LSMM600). Flat sheet membranes were prepared via a single-step casting procedure; their surface hydrophilicity was quantified via contact angle measurements. The incorporation of hydrophilic additives produced slightly more hydrophilic membranes (contact angle reduction of up to | |
