A series of new ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were prepared by blending polyphenylsulfone and polysulfone with glycine betaine (GB) and polyethylene glycol-1000 (PEG-1000) as additive. GB of varying concentrations (0–2Â wt.%) were dissolved in N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone to prepare the membranes by phas...
