In this study, new type of thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane with polysulfone (PSf) support layer having highly permeable interlayer using halloysite nanotubes (HNT) and hydrophilic polydopamine (pDA) was fabricated to improve the surface wettability of the PSf support layer, and to play a positive role in the development of a PA active layer. ATR-FTIR and XPS analysis confirmed the presence of the pDA/HNTx interlayer on the PSf support layer. Contact angle measurements confirmed that the surface wettability of support layer for TFN FO membrane was enhanced with increasing HNT loading. It was revealed that a pDA/HNT nanocomposite interlayer has considerable potential for enhancing the performance of TFN FO membranes. A TFN membrane with a pDA/HNT interlayer showed outstanding FO performance, due to its superior water flux of 26.9?L/m2?h (FO mode, 1 M NaCl draw solution), without a significant increase in reverse salt flux. This was attributed to the superior hydrophilicity and permeability of the interlayer, as well as the formation of a selective PA layer on the interlayer.
