Key Points

Membranes show significant degradation of ciprofloxacin under sunlight and UV light exposure, highlighting their effectiveness.
Key evidence indicates that the developed membranes have notable antimicrobial activity against various pathogens.
Assessment utilized hybrid membranes combining TiO2, 5-aminosalicylic acid, and silver nanoparticles for enhanced performance.
Findings underscore the membranes' dual function of pollutant degradation and antimicrobial effects, warranting further exploration.

Implication

Porous membranes degrade ciprofloxacin and possess antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential utility in water purification.

Abstract

Porous PVDF-HFP and silk-fibroin membranes with green-synthesised TiO 2 /5-ASA/Ag nanocomposites degrade ciprofloxacin under sunlight and UV, with antimicrobial activity.
