Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are hybrid organic-inorganic microporous materials that exhibit zeolite-like structures and can be synthesized with a wide range of pore sizes chemical functionality. ZIFs as thin films membranes interest for their applications in sensors gas separation. Here, we report method ZIF film membrane fabrication, based on support surface modification situ solvothermal growth, which has potential general application to other membranes. Our simple results...

Here we report the synthesis of continuous HKUST-1 membranes on porous supports via secondary (i.e., seeded) growth method. A new seeding technique (“thermal seeding”) was developed to strongly anchor seed crystals α-alumina supports. It found critical have both organic ligands and copper species in suspension as well at elevated temperature. The were then hydrothermally grown into films. formation cracks fractures films prevented by controlling cooling drying processes after...

Here we report a new strategy that can not only prevent the formation of cracks and fractures in crystals films metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) but also substantially enhance their stability with respect to moisture. It involves addition surfactants during drying process. Surfactants reduce interfacial tension, thereby repressing final was found that, once dried, adsorbed on crystal surface render hydrophobic, leading enhancement toward Using this strategy, first crack-free IRMOF-3 membrane...

Quorum quenching decreases Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factors and biofilm formation, alleviating infections in animal models. Nevertheless, it is usually performed laboratory strains such as PAO1 PA14, studies involving clinical or environmental isolates are scarce. In this work, the effects of ZnO nanoparticles, a potent quorum quencher for strain, were tested six from cystic fibrosis patients, furanone C-30 resistant strain urine, two PA14 gallium mutants, mutant four isolates....

The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic behavior of several amine-functionalized ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) materials are reported. All samples show activity for the conversion glyceryl tributyrate with methanol to methyl esters in high yield (>60%). reactivity amines approximately correlates pK values free amines. effect amine identity, loading, substrate pore size is also To determine if leached was responsible observed reactivity, hot filtrate method employed. Those...

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized and supported on thin nylon membranes by means of a simple method impregnation chemical reduction Ag ions at ambient conditions. Particles less than 10 nm obtained using this methodology, in which the fibers behave as constrained nanoreactors. Pores fibres along with oxygen nitrogen from amide moieties provide effective sites for situ silver formation stabilization nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed that are well...

Serious environmental problems are due to large amounts of polymer waste, which mostly thrown into landfills. As we known, composites has been used produce a variety products like acid tanks, manholes, drains, highway median barriers, and so forth. One option is use waste polymers as aggregates in composites. In this work, (PET, polycarbonate automotive tires), partially replaced silica sand polyester based mortar. Waste particles (0.7–2.36 mm), concentrations 1, 2 3% by weight, were used....

• Polymer concrete with synthetic waste polymers was elaborated. Effects of gamma radiation and particulate concentration were studied. Compressive strength improved up to 34% respect non-irradiated without particles. Improvement 17% on the compressive modulus elasticity obtained. Simulation using finite elements. In this work, effects polymer particles mechanical properties polyester mortars Control mortar elaborated resin (20%), silica sand (80%). This last partially substituted by each...

The development of the packaging industry has promoted indiscriminately use disposable packing as Tetra Pak, which after a very short useful life turns into garbage, helping to spoil environment. One known processes that can be used for achievement compatibility between waste materials and environment is gamma radiation, had proved good tool modification physicochemical properties materials. aim this work study effects cellulose from Pak radiation on mechanical cement concrete.
