Commercial nanofiltration polyethersulfone (NF2) membrane was modified via ultraviolet (UV) photografting to prepare a high-performance forward osmosis (FO) membrane. The optimized condition of grafting parameters was obtained using central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RS...
