Abstract
that is quite promising when comparing with similar Nanofilteration (NF) membranes in the literature and commercial NF membranes, as well. As the deposited layer, PANI is partially doped; hence, permeation results have been interpreted in terms of steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion by electrochemical PANI layering.
