Perspective Surface characterization of thin-film composite membranes using contact angle technique: Review of quantification strategies and applications

Md Farhad Ismail et al.

Summary: Thin-film composite membranes are widely used for low-cost and energy-efficient water desalination processes. This review discusses the importance of controlling surface parameters and evaluates the use of contact angle analysis for membrane surface characterization. Contact angle analysis provides useful information on surface properties that influence membrane permeation and fouling. Simplifying membrane evaluation through contact angle analysis can expedite the membrane development process.
