Polyethersulfone (PES)-silver composite UF membrane: effect of silver loading and PVP molecular weight on membrane morphology and antibacterial activity

Polyethersulfone–silver composite membranes were fabricated via a simple phase inversion method by using silver nitrate (AgNO3) as an antibacterial agent and polyvinylpyrollidone (PVP) of molecular weight 10,000, 40,000 and 360,000 Da as dispersant in the dope formulation. The effect of AgNO3 loadin...
