In this study, commercial nanofiltration polyethersulfone (NFPES) membrane was modified via ultraviolet (UV) grafting for forward osmosis (FO) application. Two grafting parameters, namely monomer concentration (acrylic acid) and grafting time were considered. Characterization was done with respect t...
