Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Grafting of ultrafiltration membranes with polyelectrolyte chains is considered as an anti-fouling treatment. In this research, grafting of poly(acrylic acid) chains to the surface of polypropylene ultrafiltration membrane was obtained by a Fenton–type reaction. Due to the surface modification treatment, we observe a decrease of susceptibility to particulate fouling of the modified membranes. The improvement of membrane properties is observed as a decrease of silica deposited on the surface of membranes in a given time of ultrafiltration process. This effect is exceptionally visible at high pH of filtered suspension. The experimental results have been supported by the numerical modeling of dynamics of polyelectrolyte chain anchored to the membrane surface. This model (based on coarse grained molecular dynamics) allowed us to obtain the dependence of the repulsive force between the membrane and particle on their distance. Considering the value of this force, together with the classical DLVO interactions (van der Waals force, electric double layer force) we were able to predict the stability of suspension in the vicinity of the membrane surface and thus the susceptibility of membrane to fouling.
