Characterization of polyamide thin film composite membranes incorporated silver nanoparticles

Abstract: In this study, the polyamide thin film composite membrane surface has been modified by anti-microbial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The membrane surfaces were interwoven with AgNPs by ultraviolet grafting polymerization method using AgNPs with or without poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The membrane surface characteristics were determined by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry images, attenuated total reflection-Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, water contact angle values, and… Show more

“…[16] AgNPs are well-known to be one of the most powerful antibacterial compounds because they can supply prolonged Ag + ions to prevent bacterial and fungal adhesion. [12,17,18] On the other hand, CuNPs are a promising candidate for membrane modification because they can release prolonged Cu + , and Cu 2 + ions with antibacterial properties. [19][20][21] The presence of nanoparticles minimizes the adhesion of the foulants and prevents the formation of a biofilm layer on the membrane surface and thus, reducing membrane fouling, especially the membrane biofouling phenomenon.…”

“…[25] Although the antibacterial and antifouling properties of the modified RO membranes were enhanced in the abovementioned studies, the permeability of the modified RO membranes was reduced which lowers the potential of the practical applications of these studies, unfortunately. [12,17,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] This study is aimed at finding suitable Ag and Cu coating conditions that enhance the antibacterial and antifouling properties yet maintaining the permeability. We reckon that it can be achieved by appropriately reducing the concentration of Ag and Cu during the coating process.…”
