Inorganic Nanomaterials in Polymeric Ultrafiltration Membranes for Water Treatment (2015, background): “On the other hand, the tremendous increments in parameters that are highly desired in pressure-driven separations, such as mechanical strength, water flux and antifouling properties, have also been widely reported with the direct incorporation of CNTs into the polymeric membranes (68,69).”
Preparation and properties of nanocomposite polysulfone/multi-walled carbon nanotubes membranes for desalination (2015, background): “The potential advantages of CNTs integration in polymer membranes to manipulate membrane properties through nanotubesmodification include improved permeability and solute rejection, decreased fouling tendency, increased tensile strength and electrical conductivity along with controlled pore size, su”
Carbon nanotubes for desalination: Performance evaluation and current hurdles (2013, background): “The capability of CNTs/polymer to perform high salt rejection has been demonstrated by Shawky and co-workers [92] where MWCNTs were incorporated into aromatic polyamide to form a nanocomposite membrane through a polymer grafting process.”
