To enhance the use of nanofiltration in production quality drinking water, particularly through efficient removal micropollutants yet still preserving essential minerals, targeted membranes (NFMs) are required to have small pore dimensions coupled with a high, net-negative charge density. Herein, after formation separation layer using piperazine interfacially polymerized trimesoyl chloride, exploitation residual amine groups was systematically investigated by different diacyl chlorides an...

<h3>Background</h3> Human hepassocin (HPS) was originally detected by subtractive and differential cDNA cloning as a liver-specific gene that markedly upregulated during liver regeneration. Previous studies suggested HPS showed mitogenic activity on isolated hepatocytes in vitro. However, its vivo functions remained largely unknown. Therefore, the function of recombinant human regeneration chemically induced injury investigated. <h3>Methods</h3> The proliferation primary examined...

Nanofiltration (NF), highly prospective for drinking water treatment, faces a challenge in simultaneously removing emerging contaminants while maintaining mineral salts, particularly divalent cations. To overcome this challenge, NF membranes possessing small pores concomitant with negatively charged surfaces were synthesized via two-step fabrication strategy. The key is to generate polyamide active layer having loose and carboxyl group-abundant segment on top dense barrier underneath. This...

Nanofiltration membranes attract extensive attention in solute selective separation, especially resource extraction and recovery. A prevalent strategy to enhance the monovalent multivalent ion separation performance involves modifying membrane surface charge properties influence Donnan exclusion. However, counterion adsorption shielding effects are aggravated with increasing ionic strength, which severely weaken This study revealed that contribution of exclusion was fairly moderate SO42-...
The weak welding strength between filament layers in fused deposition modeling (FDM) products results anisotropic mechanical properties that are also sensitive to print patterns. Furthermore, poor transverse directional alignment coupled with slow printing rates limit their applicability for industrial production. We hypothesize interfilamentous can be enhanced by modifying the chemistry of building blocks and topological arrangement macromolecular structure. To test this, we carried out...
