In this work, titanate nanotubes (TNTs) were self-synthesized and amino functionalized to produce titanate nanotubes (NH2-TNTs) for thin film nanocomposite (TFN) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fabrication. The novel RO membranes were fabricated by embedding NH2-TNTs of different quantities into polya...
