Polymeric Monolith —New Fabrication Methods and Applications—

Three-dimensional Polymeric Capillary Network: Fabrication and Applications By

Micro capillary networks widely exist in nature in forms of mass transport pathways, such as blood vessels. However their complicated geometry and the extra fine small features bring a great challenge to their potential applications in term of fabrication. To overcome the fabrication challenge, we presented in this thesis a novel method to fabricate fully three dimensional (3D) microstructures ...

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...

A facile versatile polymeric monolith for multiple separations.

A hydrophilic versatile polymeric monolith with multiple retention mechanisms including hydrogen-bonding, π-π and electrostatic interactions, was developed by a simple one-step in situ polymerization. High mechanical stability and excellent separation capabilities of various nonpolar and polar analytes were successfully achieved and employed for multiple separations in mixed-mode chromatography.

Fabrication of mesoporous polymer monolith: a template-free approach.

Mesoporous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) monolith has been fabricated by a template-free approach using the unique affinity of PAN towards a water/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixture. A newly developed Thermally Induced Phase Separation Technique (TIPS) has been used to obtain the polymer monoliths and their microstructures have been controlled by optimizing the concentration and cooling temperature.
