Anti-Fouling and Anti-Bacterial Modification of Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Membrane by Blending with the Capsaicin-Based Copolymer

Membrane fouling induced by the adsorption of organic matter, and adhesion and propagation of bacteria onto the surfaces, is the major obstacle for the wide application of membrane technology. In this work, the capsaicin-based copolymer (PMMA-PACMO-Capsaicin) was synthesized via radical copolymeriza...
