A tight polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane fabricated via polyion complex assisted phase inversion for dye desalination by Zhao, Yali, Liao, Yuan, Lai, Gwo Sung, Yin, Yurong, Wang, Rong

“…Morphology, chemical composition, surface charges and pore size analysis characterized via SEM, FTIR, XPS, Zeta potential and Dextran filtration experiment, respectively, testified that a nonporous skin layer comprising of polyion complex and enriched SPSF was successfully constructed on the top of the PES matrix with an effective pore radius of 1.44 nm, which is smaller than that of the reference membrane prepared without using polyion complex assisted phase inversion (2.74 nm). …”
