he synergistic effect of nanoboehmite particles and various amounts of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG 4000, 0−4 wt.%) as a pore-former agent on the characteristics, permeability and fouling resistance ability of the nanoboehmite/EPVC blended membranes has been investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle analyses were utilized to examine the morphology, surface roughness, nanoboehmite dispersion and surface hydrophilicity, respectively. By increasing the PEG content in the EPVC dope solution, hydrophilicity, porosity and pores diameter improved, leading to the performance promotion of the membranes. The pure water flux (PWF), flux recovery ratio (FRR) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) flux of the nanoboehmite/EPVC composite membrane improved by enhancing the PEG loading up to 2 wt.% and then they
