Graphene oxide (GO) was introduced in this study as a hydrophilic enhancer to polyether block amide copolymer (PEBAX) in the form of thin film nanocomposite (TFNC) for hydrophobic based polysulfone (PSF) membrane. The objective is to increase hydrophilic moieties by providing more polar terminal wit...
