Membrane fouling is one of the biggest obstacles towards hemodialysis treatment. In this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are incorporated to enhance the hydrophilicity and antifouling property of polyethersulfone (PES) hemodialysis membrane. Prior to the mixing, surface functionalisatio...
