Fabrication and Modification of Polysulfone Membrane with ZnO Nanoparticles

In this work, polymeric membranes consist of ZnO nanoparticles and polysulfone as a polymer matrix werefabricated. Distribution and size of nanoparticles in synthesized nanocomposite membrane have been investigated. SEMimages showed the presence and exact size of nanoparticles in nanocomposite films. Filtration of distilled water in crossflow system was performed in order to examine operational conditions and effect of blended ZnO nanoparticle inmembrane filtration.
