Dimethyl phthalate esters (DMPEs) are considered to be endocrine disruptors and environmentally hazardous materials in plastic industries wastewater because of its low solubility and accumulated persistent toxicity. In the present study, MWCNTs/TiO2 nanocomposites were fabricated by modified sol-gel...
