Asymmetric polyamide nanofilms with highly ordered nanovoids for water purification

Structure and morphology are critical to the performance of permeable and selective polyamide membranes in water purification. Here, the authors report a two layer asymmetric polyamide nanofilm in which a spherical polyamide dendrimer porous lower and a polyamide dense upper layer form hierarchical...
