Surface modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) were spun via dry-wet spinning technique at different air-gap lengths (0-20 cm). The morphology of prepared membranes was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Membranes were al...
