Abstract Polyethylene glycol (PEG), as a hydrophilic molecule, exerts a significant influence on the morphology and performance of membranes. However, the mechanism by which PEG influences polyethersulfone (PES) membranes remains unclear. In this work, the addition of varying concentrations (4, 12, 24 wt%) and molecular weights (200, 400, and 600 Da) of PEG on the PES membrane was investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and experimental study.
