This study investigated the potential of silver lactate (SL)-holloysite nanotube clay (HNTs) nano-filler embedded into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer matrix as an antibacterial separator. Three different nanocomposite membranes were fabricated via phase inversion technique aimed to enhan...
