Results showed that the membrane-BSA adhesion interaction was stronger than the BSA-BSA adhesion interaction, and the adhesion force between BSA-BSA-fouled PVDF/PVA membranes was similar to that between BSA-BSA-fouled PVDF/PVP membranes, which indicated that the fouling was mainly caused by the adhesion interaction between membrane and BSA. At the same pH condition, the PVDF/PVA membrane-BSA adhesion force was smaller than that of PVDF/ PVP membrane-BSA, which illustrated that the more hydrophilic the membrane was, the better antifouling ability it had. The extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey Overbeek (XDLVO) theory predicts that the polar or Lewis acid-base (AB) interaction played a dominant role in the interracial free energy ofmcmbrane-BSA and BSA BSA that can be affected by pH. For the same membrane, the pH values of a BSA solution can have a significant impact on the process of membrane fouling by changing the AB component of free energy.展开更多
