In this research, hydrous manganese oxide (HMO) nanoparticles was adopted in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to improve the ability of the mixed matrix membrane (MMM) to separate oil/water emulsions. The MMMs – which were added with various amounts of HMO loading (3, 5, 7 and 10 wt%) – were character...
