Abstract Modified graphene oxide with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis‐(4‐hexyloxyphenyl) ‐porphyrin and palladium (II) (signified by GO-CPTMS@Pd-TKHPP) prepared as a novel antifouling polyether sulfone (PES) blended nanofiller membrane. The membrane efficiency has been analyzed such as pure water flux (PWF), hydrophilicity and antifouling features. By increasing of modified graphene oxide percentage from 0 to 0.1 wt.% in polymer matrix the PWF was incremented from 14.35 to 37.33 kg/m2.h at 4bar. The membrane flux recovery ratio (FRR) has been investigated by applying powdered milk solution, the FRR results indicated that the 0.1 wt.% modified graphene oxide membrane showed the positive effect on fouling behavior with Rir and FRR value 8.24 and 91.73% respectively. The nanofiltration membrane performance was assessed applying the Direct Red 16 dye rejection. It was demonstrated that the optimal membranes (0.1 wt.% modified graphene oxide) had notable dye removal (99.58 % rejection). The results are also verified by measuring the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle (WCA) and atomic microscopy analysis (AFM).

The nanomaterial of graphene oxide grafting poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (GO-g-PNIPAAm) was synthesized and PVDF/GO-g-PNIPAAm blended membranes were fabricated by wet phase inversion. In this work, a hydrophilic nanomaterial GO-g-PNIPAAm with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) grafted on GO, was synthesized by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method. The resulting nanomaterial was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The synthesized GO-g-PNIPAAm was incorporated with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) via phase inversion, and investigated for its temperature sensitivity, porosity, contact angle, scanning electron microscopy, and permeate properties. The water contact angle measurements confirmed that GO-g-PNIPAAm nanomaterial-endowed PVDF membranes with better hydrophilicity and thermo-responsive properties compared with those of the pristine PVDF membranes. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption experiments suggested that excellent antifouling properties of membranes were acquired after adding GO-g-PNIPAAm. The modified membranes showed good performance when the doping amount of GO-g-PNIPAAm was 0.2 wt %.
