In this work, we fabricate an omniphobic microporous membrane for distillation (MD) by modifying a hydrophilic glass fiber with silica nanoparticles followed surface fluorination and polymer coating. The modified exhibits anti-wetting property not only against water but also low tension organic solvents that easily wet hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is commonly used in MD applications. By comparing the performance of PTFE membranes direct contact experiments presence surfactant...
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted public health and the worldwide economy. Converging evidence from current pandemic, previous outbreaks controlled experiments indicates that SARS-CoVs are present in wastewater for several days, leading to potential risks via waterborne aerosolized pathways. Conventional treatment provides only partial removal of SARS-CoVs, thus safe disposal or reuse will depend on efficacy final disinfection. This underscores need a risk assessment management...
A triple-layered TFC nanofiltration (NF) membrane consisting of a polyamide (PA) top layer covered on poly(ether sulfone) microfiltration with carbon nanotube (CNT) interlayer was fabricated via interfacial polymerization. The structure and properties the PA active could be finely tailored by tuning pore CNT interlayer, including its surface size thickness, thus improving NF performance. This exhibited high divalent salt rejection (the Na2SO4 MgSO4 solution >98.3%) dye methyl violet (MV)...
We fabricated a thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membrane with an ultrathin spray-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) interlayer. The impact of the CNT interlayer on polyamide (PA) layer structural properties and transport behavior in FO were investigated. Results indicate that provides interface which enables formation highly permeable selective PA large effective surface area for water transport, while inhibiting flower-like structure inside substrate pores. TFC-FO exhibited much...
Failure of clinical trials nonviral vector-mediated gene therapy arises primarily from either an insufficient transgene expression level or immunostimulation concerns caused by the genetic information carrier (e.g., bacteria-generated, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)). Neither these issues could be addressed through engineering-sophisticated delivery vehicles. Therefore, we propose a systemic chemically modified messenger RNA (mRNA) as alternative to plasmid (pDNA) in cancer therapy. Modified...
Multifunctional membrane-core nanoparticles, composed of calcium phosphate cores, arginine-rich peptides, cationic and PEGylated lipid membranes, galactose targeting ligands, have been developed as synthetic vectors for efficient nuclear delivery plasmid DNA subsequent gene expression in hepatocytes vivo. Targeted particles exhibited rapid extensive hepatic accumulation were predominantly internalized by hepatocytes, while the inclusion such peptides LCP was sufficient to elicit high degrees...
3D hyperbranched polyglycerol-modified thin film composite polyamide membranes for simultaneous improvement in their filtration performance and antifouling properties.
High-performance chlorine-resistant thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with zwitterions were fabricated by in situ surface modification of polyamide 2,6-diaminopyridine and the subsequential quaternization 3-bromopropionic. The successful TFC was confirmed various characterizations including chemistry, hydrophilicity, charge. transport performance membrane measured both cross-flow reverse osmosis (RO) forward processes, results showed that modified improved its water permeability...
Microbial attachment and biofilm formation on filtration membrane can greatly compromise its flux separation efficiency. Here, a simple facile approach has been developed to in situ generate silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) the thin film composite forward osmosis (TFC FO) for sustainable antibiofouling performances. Mussel-inspired dopamine chemistry was applied grow polydopamine coating both surfaces of FO membranes, followed by generation Ag NPs upon dip nitrate aqueous solution. Furthermore,...
Abstract Pore size uniformity is one of the most critical parameters in determining membrane separation performance. Recently, a novel type conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) has shown uniform pore and high porosity. However, their brittle nature prevented them from preparing robust membranes. Inspired by skin-core architecture spider silk that offers both strength ductility, herein we report an electropolymerization process to prepare CMP rigid carbazole monomer,...
