- Novel cellulose ester substrates for high performance flat-sheet thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membranes (2015, background): “McCutcheon and Elimelech also reported that poor wetting in support layers would disrupt water continuity within the membrane and reduce the pathways for water transport [40].”
- A new commercial thin film composite membrane for forward osmosis (2014, methodology): “The selective layer showed a low contact angle (~14°) which implies a polyamide layer that is more hydrophilic than the CAmembrane and other reported high performance FO membranes [7,9,20].”
- Hydrophilic nylon 6,6 nanofibers supported thin film composite membranes for engineered osmosis (2014, unknown): “wetting) throughout the structure [32].”
- Forward osmosis for application in wastewater treatment: a review. (2014, background): “Other RO membranes too, have not shown convincing results in FO due to hydrophobicity and relatively thick support layers (SLw150 mm) (McCutcheon and Elimelech, 2008).”
- Evolution of polymeric hollow fibers as sustainable technologies: Past, present, and future (2012, methodology): “McCutcheon and Elimelech [197] have explored use of conventional TFC-RO membranes in FO applications.”
