| Abstract | Integrating multiple nanoscale components with antibacterial properties into a single membrane filter is indispensable for efficient application in water treatment. Herein, we prepare a poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (PVA-co-PE) nanofibrous membrane (NFM) decorated using chitosan (CS) and graphene oxide (GO), via a melt-phase-separated nanofiber/CS-GO suspension coating technique. As indicated by morphology and structure analysis, CS and GO have tight physical attachment to the surface of the nanofibers throughout the PVA-co-PE layer, with diminished pore size and contact angle. Compared to commercial PVDF membrane, NFMs exhibit enhanced retention rate of pigmented nanoparticles and bacterial cells and higher and more stable water flux due to their relatively small thickness and high stacking density. The performance for inactivation of bacteria is also improved by employing NFM. Particularly after CS/GO modification, the inactivation rate of the membrane is increased to the range of 97.8–99.5% against E. coli and S. aureus with superior repetitive-use performance. These results can be attributed to the enhancement effect of the nanofiber network on the activity of the hydroxyl groups in PVA-co-PE, NH3+ in chitosan and the 2D structure of graphene oxide. The present membranes have much potential for use in long-term water treatment with high efficiency and stability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
