Outstanding water/ion selectivity of aquaporins paves the way for bioinspired desalination membranes. Since amino acid asparagine (Asn) plays a critical role in fast water conduction through hydrogen bonding interactions, we adapted this feature by functionalizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with Asn. We also studied nonpolar and carboxylate functional groups comparison. Computation ideal performance individual CNTs at atomistic scale is powerful tool probing effect tip-functionalized on ion...
The solvation and the onset of dissolution a cellulose Iβ microcrystal in ionic liquid media are studied by molecular simulation. Ionic liquids can dissolve large amounts cellulose, which later be regenerated from solution, but their high viscosity is an inconvenience. Hydrogen bonding between anion main aspect determining dissolution. Here we try to elucidate role cosolvent, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), aprotic polar compound, system composed 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate. We calculated...
Fatty acid-based polyurethane films were prepared for use as potential wound dressing material. The polymerization reaction was carried out with or without catalyst. Polymer by casting-evaporation technique crosslink-catalyst. film from uncatalyzed product crosslink-catalyst gave slightly higher crosslink density. mechanical tests showed that, the increase in tensile strength and decrease elongation at break is due to degree of crosslinking. All flexible, resisted acid solution. more...
Researchers have made a significant breakthrough by merging the energy-saving attribute of organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) with remarkable permeance and solute rejection two-dimensional (2D) laminated membranes. This innovative approach brings forth new era sustainable cost-effective separation techniques, presenting promising solution to issue industrial solvents contaminating environment. development paves way for opportunities in building future. Specifically, our mini-review has...
Polyethylene/TiO 2 membranes were fabricated via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method. A set of characterization tests including FE‐SEM, EDX, XRD, DSC, TGA, DMA, mechanical test and relative pure water flux for carried out to investigate the effect TiO nanoparticles on membrane properties. The results XRD TGA analyses confirmed presence in polymer matrix. DSC analysis revealed that melting point as well crystallinity increased slightly with increasing content. However, glass...
Abstract As an alternative to petroleum‐based polyol, hydroxyl containing material was prepared from linseed oil for polyurethane synthesis. Hexamethylene di‐isocyanate (HMDI) and/or 4, 4′‐methylene diphenyl (MDI) were used as isocyanate source. The polymerization reaction carried out without catalyst. Polymer films by casting‐evaporation technique. MDI/HMDI‐based and its had higher T g better thermal property than that of the HMDI‐based one because existence benzene ring in polymer chain....
Abstract Polyurethane films based on renewable sources were prepared as an alternative to petroleum‐based polyurethane. The effects of the structure and ratio diisocyanate components polymer properties investigated. Hexamethylene (HMDI) diphenylmethylene (MDI) chosen in synthesis. Membranes by casting‐evaporation technique characterized for their gas permeability, film mechanical properties. oil‐based membranes found be suitable wound dressing applications.
