Preparation of cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol nanospheres and the synthesization of low-fouling modified membranes

▶ Prepare polyvinyl alcohol nanospheres (PVA-NS) successfully in microemulsion system. ▶ Combine membrane hydrophilic modification with PVA nanospheres and prepare self-assembly and deposited membranes. ▶ The antifouling performance and the stability of PVA-NS on membrane surface of HTAB/PVA-NS self-assembly membrane and were both better than PVA-NS deposited membrane.
