Hyperbranched polyethylenimine-modified polyethersulfone (HPEI/PES) and nAg@HPEI/PES membranes with enhanced ultrafiltration, antibacterial, and antifouling properties

Hyperbranched polyethylenimine-modified polyethersulfone (HPEI/PES) and nAg@HPEI/PES membranes with enhanced ultrafiltration, antibacterial, and antifouling properties

This study reports a simple fabrication of polyethersulfone (PES)-based membranes, their characterisation, and application. These membranes are modified with hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (HPEI) and -silver (nAg)-decorated HPEI. These were then compared for filtration, organic fouling, antifouling...
