Functionalized titanate nanotubes were prepared using a facile and eco-friendly method. Nanofiltration membranes were fabricated via a simple phase inversion method. The neat and mixed matrix membrane (MMMs) was prepared using PEI as a polymeric material and nanomaterials such as TiO2 particles (TP)...
