BACKGROUND: In this study, polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes incorporated with surface-functionalized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were developed in order to improve water flux and antifouling properties of PES membrane. Commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles was coated by polydopamine (PDA)...
