Tailoring Membrane Surface Charges: A Novel Study on Electrostatic Interactions during Membrane Fouling

In this work we aim to show that the overall surface potential is a key factor to understand and predict anti-fouling characteristics of a polymer membrane. Therefore, polyvinylidene fluoride membranes were modified by electron beam-induced grafting reactions forming neutral, acidic, alkaline or zwi...
