In this research work, silver nanoparticles/polyethylene glycol/cellulose acetate ultrafiltration (Ag-NPs/PEG/CA UF) composite membranes were synthesized and characterized. The Ag-NPs were embedded in the polymer matrix by two methods: in situ and ex situ; varying the type of solvent used (dimethylf...
