Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide as Nanofillers …

of GO and rGO into a polymer matrix can remarkably improve the physical, mechanical, and hydrophilic properties of the host polymer at extremely low concentrations.
Also, polymer–GO/rGO nanocomposite membranes have been found to improve the
water permeability of the studied systems, which reduces energy consumption and
operating costs of the system. In addition, these nanofillers improve the antifouling
performance of some membranes that leads to decrease the membrane cleaning costs
during recycling. In reality, these improvements of the membrane could be attributed
to powerful interfacial interactions between graphene/GO/rGO and polymer matrix.
