A facile and effective technique to immobilize photocatalyst nanoparticles by incorporating zinc oxide (ZnO) into polyethersulfone polymeric films by means of a phase inversion technique is reported. The degradation study of methyl orange (MO) dye was performed using a series of ZnO-embedded polymer...
