In this work, polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes incorporated with modified silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles were prepared and characterized for a water treatment process. Prior to doping preparation, commercial SiO2 nanoparticles were first modified using a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SD...
