BACKGROUND: Incorporation of nanofillers into the polyamide (PA) layer of thin-film composite (TFC) membrane could improve membrane surface properties for enhanced water separation efficiency. However, most nanofillers do not disperse well in organic medium. In this work, the surface of titanate nan...
