Progress in the production and modification of PVDF membranes (2011, methodology): “coated the PVDF membrane with chitosan solution, through the combined flow through and surface flow method, which allowed the chitosan molecules to be coated both on the membrane surface and pore walls [143].”
Fabrication and characterization of superhydrophobic polypropylene hollow fiber membranes for carbon dioxide absorption (2012, background): “Modifications of PVDF membranes are investigated to improve their wetting resistance and permeability [39–43].”
Novel high flux antifouling nanofiltration membranes for dye removal containing carboxymethyl chitosan coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (2014, background): “The positive effect of the hydrophilicity enhancement on the antifouling ability of membranes via reduction of the protein adsorption was reported in the literature because membrane hydrophilicity is the main factor affecting the surface-adsorption properties of the membranes [50–52].”
