Superwettable Membranes for Highly Efficient Separation of Oil-in-Water Emulsions

In this work, we report a facile and robust surface membrane modification method via a simple coating of PVDF membrane using tannic acid (TA) followed by oxidation with sodium periodate (NaIO4). The modified membranes were investigated by SEM, AFM, XPS, FTIR, and a water contact angle measurement...
