It has been shown that the addition of hydrophilic polyarylatepolyalkylene oxide and polyethersulfone-polyalkylene oxide block copolymers to polyethersulfone can control the porosity of the selective layer of hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes. The selection of the optimal amount of the additive makes it possible to increase the performance of membranes in the purification of drinking water from microalgae, large mineral particles, bacteria and viruses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
