Nanoscale analysis of hydrophilicity–hydrophobicity distribution on inner surfaces of wet dialysis membranes by atomic force microscopy

► We evaluate hydrophobicity on dialysis membrane inner surfaces at the nanoscale. ► Adhesive forces of the membranes were measured by a hydrophobized AFM probe. ► The forces were mapped to determine hydrophilicity–hydrophobicity distribution. ► The distribution of PEPA membrane surface was more uni...
