Abstract: Cellulose acetate (CA) is widely used in the preparation of ultrafiltration membranes due to its many excellent characteristics, especially chemical activity and biodegradability. To improve the inherent hydrophobic and antifouling properties of CA membrane, in this work, CA was successfully modified with dopamine (CA-2,3-DA) through selective oxidation and Schiff base reactions, which was confirmed by FTIR and
