In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposites synthesized via one-step solvothermal method were used as nanofillers in the preparation of thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for forward osmosis (FO) application. With respect to separation performanc...
