Immersion in Advanced Oxidation Water Followed by AGET-ATRP to Develop Low-Fouling Microfiltration Membranes by Grafting Poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate)

TL;DR: A facile surface modification method in which membranes were immersed in advanced oxidation water (ozone and hydrogen peroxide co-dissolved in water) followed by activator generated by electron transfer-atom transfer radical polymerization (AGET-ATRP) was developed to obtain low-fouling membranes as discussed by the authors .
