Polypropylene (PP)/glass fiber (GF) composites showing excellent antistatic performance were prepared by a simple melt process blending PP with GF and small amount of organic salts (OSs). Two types OSs, tribuyl(octyl)phosphonium bis(trifloromethanesulfonyl)imide (TBOP-TFSI) lithium (Li-TFSI), equivalent anions used as agents for the composites. It was found that OSs exhibited significant synergistic effects on well mechanical properties On one hand, incorporation significantly enhanced...
Nano-porous active layers templated by hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal (HLLC) offer a continuous water pathway, rendering them promising for membrane separation applications of high performance. The surface properties, such as roughness, hydrophilicity and pore size, commercially available ultrafiltration membranes usually need to be optimized better support the layer. Here, we apply facile yet potent thermal treatment process polyacrylonitrile (UPAN) substrate form HLLC enhancement in...
Nano-porous active layers templated by hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal (HLLC) present a continuous water pathway, which makes them ideal for membrane separation applications. Incorporating controllable pore size into such an ordered structure will facilitate more applications, but it remains challenging task using current molecular design-based methods due to their time- and energy-consuming nature. We demonstrate facile yet powerful thermal treatment process onto substrates effectively...

Hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystals (HLLC) with uniform pore size in the range of 1~5 nm are highly sought after as promising active separation layers thin-film composite (TFC) membranes, which have been confirmed to be efficient for water purification. The potential interaction between an amphiphile-based HLLC layer and substrate surface, however, has not fully explored. In this research, hydrophilic hydrophobic microporous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrates were chosen,...
