Description

Papers concerning the application of atomic force microscope (AFM) to the study of polymeric membranes were reviewed. AFM has been used to study such characteristics of membranes as pore size, pore size distribution, pore structure, surface roughness, nodules on the membrane surface, surface general morphology, mechanism of membrane fouling and the choice of membrane material. AFM, as a novel and effective physical method, still has potential on the examination of polymeric membranes
