Bio-Inspired Fabrication of Ultrafiltration Membranes Incorporating Polydopamine Functionalized Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles by Alkhouzaam, Abedalkader I.

“…Thus, the flux increased with the embedding of rGO-PDA without affecting the rejection properties, while it decreased with the embedding of pristine GO. The highest pure water permeability (PWP) was obtained with PSF/rGO PDA-0.1 to be approximately twice that of the pristine PSF and PSF/GO-0.1. …”
