    Abstract
    Fouling continues to be a major problem in membrane technology when water is the separation medium. In this review, the recent advances in strategies for fouling minimization are summarized and critically discussed. Different grafting approaches for surface modification are highlighted, particularly those promoting the integration of zwitterionic building blocks in the membrane top layer. We compare layer-by-layer and other coating methods, and emerging technologies such as 3D printing for pattern development, laser-induced graphene formation and integration of other carbon-based materials to assist electrically driven processes of fouling mitigation. Finally, we emphasize the relevance of developing membranes with higher stability in chlorine, acid and base agents, since regular cleaning has been still mandatory to maintain the membrane performance in long periods of operation.

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
