Novel nanocomposite Kevlar fabric membranes: Fabrication characterization, and performance in oil/water separation

- Membranes were prepared through three-step dip coating of Kevlar fabrics.
- The super hydrophilic membrane offered an excellent oil/water separation.
- The performance of the membranes was satisfactory.
- The majority of fouling occurred as gel layer on the surface of membranes.
- The membranes were successfully regenerated by a simple cleaning method.
