Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Conference Paper Description
Membrane technology has emerged as an alternative to conventional water treatment methods. Membranes, however, are exposed to fouling phenomena during their application. These have contributed to short membrane durability and higher operating cost. Improvements of commercial membrane characteristics and developing new membrane materials, thus, are the focus of membrane researchers in recent years in order to enhance the membrane overall performance. This current study was aimed to develop a composite membrane material with improved characteristics such as high fouling resistance, high flux, high hydrophilicity and good mechanical properties. Graphene oxide (GO) nanoplates have become the best candidate to be adopted as a nanofillers in the membrane matrices owing to its unique properties. Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes have been fabricated using a direct blending of the nanoplates in the blending solution via a wet phase inversion method. The addition of GO nanoplates and acacia gum to the casting solution changed the viscosity of the solution. As a result, the membrane with denser sub-layer and smaller pore size were formed owing to the changes in phase inversion kinetics. All the membranes, however, have an integrated asymmetric structure according to Field Emission Scanning Electron (FESEM) images. Fouling phenomena of the fabricated membranes were quantified by measuring flux declines at constant suction pressure.
