The chitosan/organo-montmorillonite (Ch/O-MMT) membrane was fabricated and tested. Surface modification of O-MMT particles using 3-glicydoxy propyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) to enhance its compatibility with chitosan is presented. The resulting composite membrane was characterized by using SEM, AFM,...
