In this study, thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes were prepared by incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotube-titania nanotube (MWCNT-TNT) hybrid into the polyamide layer via interfacial polymerization on the surface of PS35 commercial substrate. The study showed that in the neat thin film comp...
