The Importance of Crosslinking in Electrospun Membranes for Water Contaminant Removal.

ABSTRACT: Traditional water purification systems often rely on synthetic materials that pose environmental risks due to their non-biodegradability and the potential release of harmful substances. To address these concerns, natural polymer-based membranes are being developed as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative for water treatment due to their biodegradability, low toxicity, and chemical versatility. These materials are particularly suitable for removing a wide range of contaminants due to their high selectivity and water permeability. Despite their benefits, challenges such as improving mechanical strength, durability, and resistance to fouling persist. Ongoing research continues to optimize the performance of electrospun membranes to meet modern water treatment demands. For thi
