Chlorine Resistant Glutaraldehyde Crosslinked Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Membranes for Desalination

Multilayer Nanoporous Graphene Membranes for Water Desalination.

While single-layer nanoporous graphene (NPG) has shown promise as a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination membrane, multilayer graphene membranes can be synthesized more economically than the single-layer material. In this work, we build upon the knowledge gained to date toward single-layer graphene to explore how multilayer NPG might serve as a RO membrane in water desalination using classical mol...

Spatial control of cellular adhesion using photo-crosslinked micropatterned polyelectrolyte multilayer films.

Cellular patterning on biomaterial surfaces is important in fundamental studies of cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, and in biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, cell-based biosensors, and diagnostic devices. In this study, we combined the layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte multilayer deposition and photolithographic technique to create an easy and versatile technique for cel...

Fabrication of Porous Hydroxyapatite-Gelatin Scaffolds Crosslinked by Glutaraldehyde for Bone Tissue Engineering

In this study, to mimic the mineral and organic components of natural bone, hydroxyapatite[HA] and gelatin[GEL] composite scaffolds were prepared using the solvent-casting method combined with a freeze drying process. Glutaraldehyde[GA] was used as a cross linking agent and sodium bisulfite was used as an excess GA discharger. Using this technique, it is possible to produce scaffolds with mecha...
