Thin-film composite reverse osmosis membranes have remained the gold standard technology for desalination and water purification nearly half a century. Polyamide films offer excellent permeability salt rejection but also suffer from poor chlorine resistance, high fouling propensity, low boron rejection. We addressed these issues by molecularly designing polyester thin-film membrane using co-solvent-assisted interfacial polymerization to react 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid with trimesoyl...
Abstract With their low density and high porosity, aerogels are widely used as supporting frameworks for phase change materials (PCMs). However, the host–guest solid–liquid phase‐change systems often encounter difficulties in optimizing balance between mechanical properties thermal energy storage performance, intrinsic advantages of not being fully realized. Herein, an aerogel‐functionalization‐PCM strategy, a completely converse route compared to traditional aerogel‐filling‐PCM method,...
A novel positively charged nanofiltration membrane has been prepared by the reaction of carboxylic acids on surface a polyamide thin film composite with poly(amidoamine) dendrimer in presence 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide as an activating agent. The was excellent grafting efficiency and showed high isoelectric point pH 9.9. Because density free protonated amino groups, rejections toward various toxic elements including Cu2+, Ni2+ Pb2+. rejection order also followed size ions terms their...
A sulfonated thin-film composite (TFC) nanofiltration membrane was fabricated using 2,2′-benzidinedisulfonic acid (BDSA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on a polyether sulfone substrate by conventional interfacial polymerization. Due to nascent barrier layer with loose architecture, the obtained TFC-BDSA-0.2 showed an ultrahigh pure water permeability of 48.1 ± 2.1 L–1 m–2 h–1 bar–1, considerably low NaCl retention ability <1.8% over concentration range 10–100 g L–1. The membrane, which...
The functional loss of membranes caused by pore wetting, mineral scaling, or structural instability is a critical challenge in membrane distillation (MD), which primarily hinders its practical applications. Herein, we propose novel and facile strategy to fabricate omniphobic with exceptionally robust MD performance. Specifically, substrate hierarchical re-entrant architecture was constructed via spray-water-assisted non-solvent-induced phase separation (SWNIPS), followed direct fluorinated...
Naturalness preference refers to the tendency prefer natural things otherwise equivalent unnatural alternatives. Previous research suggests that naturalness is largely due ideational reasons (moral or aesthetic appeals), rather than instrumental (inferred functional superiority), because and alternatives were specified as identical. The current studies showed people do not always believe can be Responses in previous would have been interpreted ideational‐based correlated with beliefs...
Zwitterionization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes is conducted <italic>via</italic> atom transfer radical polymerization and ZCNTs obtained are used as an aqueous additive to fabricate thin-film nanocomposite nanofiltration membranes.
Conventional asymmetric or thin-film composite forward osmosis (FO) membranes suffer from severe internal concentration polarization, which significantly hinders process performance and practical applications. Here we report the synthesis of COOH-derived polyoxadiazole copolymer for fabrication a self-standing selective thin film without support layer. The thickness membrane was controlled at merely few micrometers to achieve high rate rejection Na2SO4 draw solution, while maintaining...
Compared to the rapid development of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in developing countries, especially China, research about effect CSR on firm value has evolved more slowly. This paper examines relationship between and used by listed Chinese companies from 2010 2017. The results for whole sample show significantly reduces value. Additionally, there are no significant differences state owned enterprises (SOEs) non-SOEs or sensitive industry non-sensitive industry. To...
Fear of Intimacy (FOI) affects approximately 2.5% the population, posing diagnostic and treatment challenges relying on time-consuming psychotherapy, self-reported scales, clinical interviews. This study addresses these hurdles by exploring Virtual Reality’s (VR) potential in assessing FOI. Through simulating intimate scenarios gathering context-based data, we investigate whether participants’ VR behaviors correlate with FOI attachment insecurities, specifically avoidance anxiety. Our...
This study focuses on perceptions of registered brands sold in Shanghai. Brand identity has been studied Western settings; this expands understanding brand from a Chinese perspective. shoppers Shanghai shopping malls were asked to compare US and survey about their product attributes, identification store environment. In the analysis data, evaluated more positively than attributes design innovation, workmanship, image, service, display products, while received positive marks fit price...
Textile wastewater treatment is highly challenging due to the simultaneous existence of organic compounds and inorganic salts. Herein, we report a novel application forward osmosis (FO), non-pressure-driven membrane process, in textile treatment. Specifically, symmetric FO with outstanding selectivity between salts organics (i.e., allowing permeation water while hindering organics) fabricated. With draw solution containing macromolecules sodium polyacrylate), staged process can achieve...
