The curing of polyamide and PDMS are orthogonal and co-curing both networks imparts hydrophobicity to the thin film composite membranes. The membranes exhibit increased adsorption of pesticides from the feed water along with maintaining excellent salt rejection capability (97% NaCl rejection), thus giving the membranes a multifunctional character. Three toxic pesticides have been used in this study to demonstrate the viability of combining osmosis desalination technology with organic matter adsorption. The membranes also show excellent resistance to fouling by toxic pesticides (85% salt rejection vs 67% for commercial membranes in the presence of pesticides) and significantly improved chlorine tolerance (93.8% salt rejection vs 86.5% for commercial membranes after 20 h of exposure to sodium hypochlorite solution).
