In water treatment applications, it is generally accepted that a hydrophilic membrane surface is favorable to enhance water permeate flux and mitigate membrane fouling. Numerous methods, both chemical and physical modification, have been proposed to improve the hydrophilicity of polymeric membranes. Graft polymerization is one of the promising methods to modify polymer membranes by tethering hydrophilic polymer chains onto membrane surface. The existence of hydrophilic chains on the membrane surface facilitates the reduction of interfacial tension with water, thus higher water flux can be obtained. In addition, the increase of membrane hydrophilicity also improves the antifouling resistance. This review provides a concise summary and discussion of the modification of polymeric membranes using graft polymerization method. The effects of graft polymerization on the membrane hydrophilicity as well as the antifouling property are discussed.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antifouling,Graft polymerization,hydrophilic,Hydrophilic modification,Membrane hydrophilicity,Physical modifications,Separation performance,Surface characteristics[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]antifouling,graft polymerization,hydrophilic,polymeric membrane[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/547/1/012054[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
