Membrane modified by adding nanoparticles coined as nanomodified membrane is another latest trend in membrane technology. This paper investigates the influence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) coated cobalt doped iron oxide (Co-Fe2O3) nanoparticles on the morphological and properties of (PES) ultrafiltr...
