In this study, the transport properties, and uremic toxins removal capability by polysulfone (PSF) membrane have been improved through the immobilisation of chitosan nanoparticles (CNP). Different loadings of CNP in the range of 0.1–0.5 wt% was incorporated into the polymer dope solutions to fabrica...
