Modification of Nanofibrous Membranes to Enhance Antibiofouling Capability in Wastewater Treatment Process 

An increase in water pollution; demand for clean water and worldwide water crisis has put forward great challenges on the membrane technology. Although nanofiber webs can find diverse applications in the market, there is still lack of technology for the application in the water domain area. In this project, polymeric nanofiber membranes will be prepared as suitable for wastewater filtration. The surfaces will be modified by various modification methods to enhance their fouling resistance and antibacterial properties. Our prepared membranes will exhibit the great potential of the developed strategy in the fabrication of nanofibrous membranes towards environmental remediation.
