In this study, a highly biocompatible adsorptive membrane is developed for haemodialysis application. Silica/α-mangostin hybrid nanoparticle was incorporated into polysulfone (PSf) based membrane to enhance the biocompatibility and the adsorption capacity of the membrane. The PSf based membranes wer...
