In this work, we performed an analysis on the surface properties of polyethersulfone (PES)-based ultrafiltration membranes that were prepared by incorporating acid functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (f-MWCNT) and polyvinylpyrrolidone into membrane matrix via simple blending method. The bondi...
