Polyamide (PA) thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane incorporated with multiwalled carbon nanotubes-titania nanotube (MWCNT-TNT) hybrid was successfully fabricated. The hybrid was introduced to the PA selective layer during the interfacial polymerization (IP) of trimesoyl chloride (TMC) and m-pheny...
