Description	The conventional membrane has inherent limitations in water treatment and purification due to its low resistance to fouling and the trade-off between permeability and selectivity. The nanocomposite membrane is emerging as a potential alternative to overcome these challenges. Nanocomposite membranes, which are made by combining polymeric materials with nanomaterials, have good potential for applications in desalination, water purification, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse of water. They can be developed to meet specific water treatment applications by tuning their structure and physico-chemical properties such as hydrophilicity, porosity, charge density, thermal and mechanical stability, as well as by introducing unique functionalities (e.g. antibacterial capabilities). This chapter presents the details of different types of nanocomposite membranes: (i) conventional nanocomposite; (ii) thin-film nanocomposite (TFN); (iii) thin-film composite (TFC) with nanocomposite substrate; and (iv) surface-located nanocomposite.
