A one-step co-deposition method based on dopamine and hydrophilic monomer (HEMA) was proposed for the modification of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane to ameliorate its oil-water separation performances and hydrophilicity. The amount of HEMA added in the reaction solution had been changed...
