The successful implementation of thin-film composite membranes (TFCM) for challenging solute-solute separations in the pharmaceutical industry requires a fine control over microstructure (size, distribution, and connectivity free-volume elements) thickness selective layer. For example, desalinating antibiotic streams highly interconnected elements right size to block antibiotics but allow passage salt ions water. Here, we introduce stevioside, plant-derived contorted glycoside, as promising...
This study leverages the ancient craft of weaving to prepare membranes that can effectively treat oil/water mixtures, specifically challenging nanoemulsions. Drawing inspiration from core-shell architecture spider silk, we have engineered fibers, fundamental building blocks for membranes, feature a mechanically robust core tight weaving, coupled with CO 2 -responsive shell allows on-demand wettability adjustments. Tightly these fibers produces ideal pores, achieving over 99.6% separation...
Abstract The crystallization behaviors of ultra high‐molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in liquid paraffin under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions were studied by differential scanning calorimetry during the solid–liquid thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process. For crystallization, development relative crystallinity with time is analyzed Avrami equation exponent n = 2.7. relatively high content secondary at higher temperature can be obtained due to mobility UHMWPE chains....
Abstract Cross‐linked hydroxy terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)‐based polyurethaneurea (PU), HTPB‐divinyl benzene (DVB)‐PU, was synthesized by a three‐step polymerization process. It first used as membrane material to separate p ‐/ o ‐xylene mixtures pervaporation (PV). The effects of the content cross‐linker DVB, feed concentration, and operating temperature on PV performance HTPB‐DVB‐PU membranes were investigated. demonstrated permselectivity well high total flux. introduction DVB...
Abstract Urgent needs for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from gas streams has stimulated a vigorous research high‐performance separation membranes. Herein, porous iron‐organic molecular cage (Fe‐cage) embedded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mixed miatrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated through emulsion casting method efficient VOCs removal. The membrane performance was systematically investigated by separating VOC/N 2 mixtures under various operating conditions (e.g., feed...
Abstract The development of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) separation technology is crucial for mitigating global climate change and promoting sustainable development. In this study, we successfully synthesized an array cross‐linked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes, x ALD‐PEG‐ALD‐ c ‐PVA, with enhanced CO /N performance by employing dialdehyde polyethylene glycol (ALD‐PEG‐ALD) as a cross‐linker. formation the network structure not only inhibits crystallization PVA but also disrupts hydrogen...
