Two poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane modification approaches, i.e., poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) modification and sulfonation, were applied and investigated to produce a fouling-resistant membrane for microalgae filtration. Both methods were able to alter the membrane surface to become more...
