Adsorption of pH-responsive amphiphilic copolymer micelles and gel on membrane surface as an approach for antifouling coating

► pH-responsive copolymer micelles and gel were deposited on the membrane surface. ► The deposited micelles and gel remained stable on the membrane surface. ► The modified membranes show improved antifouling properties and performance. ► The modified membranes show pH dependent performance during filtrations operation. ► Stability of micelles and gel was assessed by IR, SEM, CA, and zeta potential.
