Abstract:
The incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs) to membrane has developed the membrane
separation to overcome fouling and to enhance antibacterial properties of membrane.
To date, Titanium Oxide (TiO2) NPs are utilized in various industrial applications
and recently the development in membrane technology, owing to their superb
antifouling, antibacterial, thermal and mechanical stability. This study aims to
evaluate the TiO2 NPs roles to enhance the membrane quality in terms of
antifouling, antibacterial properties and the membrane performance. The
contribution of this study is to bring the researcher’s attention for the TiO2 NPs
importance to modify the membrane characteristics to overcome the fouling issues
