文摘

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of industrially fouled reverse osmosis membranes AFM force spectroscopy measured the Young's modulus of virgin and fouled membranes. pH influenced the mechanical properties of virgin and fouled membranes. AFM force spectroscopy of membranes extended to measure energy of adhesion. Significant difference in mechanical properties between fouled and virgin membranes
