ABSTRACT
Varying amounts of exfoliated graphene oxide (GO) are systematically incorporated into nanoscale polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers via an electrospinning method. Subsequent treatment of the PAN–GO composite nanofibers under a moderate temperature and high pressure leads to the formation of membrane sheets with enhanced mechanical properties. scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements confirm the successful incorporation of the GO into the PAN nanofiber membranes whose diameter, porosity, and pore size are notably influenced by the amount of the GO content. These composite membranes also exhibit a gradual reduction in the water contact angle as a function of the hydrophilic GO content, resulting in a beneficial property for water purification. In addition, the proper integration of GO into the PAN nanofibers improves the protein rejection rate and water flux during the filtration process, which indicates the possibility of utilizing these types of composite membranes in water treatment systems. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Conclusions
The systematic loading of GO into PAN nanofibers was suc- cessfully completed by electrospinning. The subsequent hot- press treatment allowed for the conversion of composite nanofiber sheets into thin membranes whose pore size, thick- ness, and porosity were thoroughly evaluated to understand their integrity as water purification filters. A water contact angle of the composite membranes notably decreased with the increase of the GO content due to the hydrophilic nature of GO, concomitantly resulting in the increase of the water flux rate. Lastly, the incorporation of GO into the PAN nanofiber membranes generally improved their mechanical properties and also resulted in the significantly superior pro- tein rejection than that found with the bare PAN membrane
(e.g., a high purification efficiency). As such, the proper modification of the polymer nanofiber materials with hydro- philic GO materials as fillers can allow for the development of novel composite membranes for water purification systems.
