Impregnation of the noble metal, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a disinfectant into the polymeric membrane is one of the empirical modification methods in producing safe drinking water. However, the dispersion and immobilization of AgNPs during membrane fabrication and application is least discusse...
