•CA-PES ultrafiltration membranes were prepared successfully with DMAc as solvent.•The optimal composition of the blend solution was determined.•The incorporation of CA improved hydrophilicity and antifouling ability of membranes.•The addition of CA and PVP resulted in larger macrovoids and higher p...
