Prior to filtration experiments, the morphologies and physicochemical properties of prepared HNT-HFO nanocomposites and MMMs were characterized using scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray, transmission electron microscope, Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscope, atomic force microscope and contact angle goniometer. It was found that the membrane contact angle decreased remarkably from 81.39\u00b0 to about 50.30\u00b0 upon addition of 23.08\u202fwt% of HNT-HFO nanocomposite (2.0 loading ratio) in the PES matrix.
