Naturally, occurring, low cost and eco-friendly halloysite nanotubes were chemically modified and uniformly immobilised into the polyetherimide membrane matrix with the aim of enhancing the properties and possible cationic dye rejection efficacy. The properties of fabricated nanocomposite membranes...
