Mixed matrix membranes containing aspartic acid functionalized graphene oxide for enhanced oil-water emulsion separation by Omnya Abdalla (17100211)

“…The membranes hydrophilicity, morphology, porosity, and mechanical properties were analyzed and the impact of fGO loading on them was investigated using contact angle measurements, SEM, AFM, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The results revealed an increase in the membrane’s hydrophilicity, water permeability and oil rejection at very low fGO loadings, i.e., 0.05 – 0.2 wt.%, but no further enhancement was obtained at higher loadings, i.e., 0.4−0.8 wt.%. …”
