Asymmetric PEI hollow fiber mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with improved structure and wetting resistance were fabricated via wet phase inversion method. The effects of incorporating hydrophobic MMT into polymer matrix in different loadings on the membrane properties were investigated. The membranes...
