Drying Induced Phase Separation
نویسنده
چکیده
Phase separation simulation study related to cellulose acetate-water-acetone has been done. Results show that porous asymmetric and symmetric membranes can be produced by changing the nonsolvent concentration or by the drying conditions without altering the polymer content using dry-casting process. Dry-casting process is the process in which complete evaporation of solvent and nonsolvent takes place. At low initial nonsolvent concentration phase separation may not take place and dense polymer film may be obtained rather than a porous membrane. At high air velocity the phase separation is completely suppressed and uniformly dense coating devoid of substantial microstructure will result.

Fabrication of Gelatin Scaffolds Using Thermally Induced Phase Separation Technique
Gelatin is considered as a partially degraded product of collagen and it is a biodegradable polymer which can be used to produce scaffolds for tissue engineering. Three-dimensional, porous gelatin scaffolds were fabricated by thermally induced phase separation and freeze-drying method. Their porous structure and pore size were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Scaffolds with differ...
متن کاملControlling the dominant length scale of liquid-liquid phase separation in spin-coated organic semiconductor films
Organic electronic devices are often made by solution processing a multi-component ink. During solution processing, e.g. via spin coating, the solvent evaporates and the solid components deposit on the substrate. The morphology of this layer can range from wellmixed to extensively phase separated. To optimize device performance, it is essential to 2 control the degree and dominant length scale ...

Preparation and characterization of polyethylene/ glass fiber composite membrane prepared via thermally induced phase separation method
Grinded glass fiber (GGF) embedded high density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation method. FESEM images showed that all the membranes had leafy structure, indicating a solid-liquid mechanism during phase separation. The results of EDX and TGA analyses confirmed that the fibers were dispersed in the HDPE matrix uniformly. Normalized water flux of t...
متن کاملInduced Phase Separation
Guide regeneration techniques have been recently used to heal soft and hard tissue defects. In this approach, scaffolding plays an important role. Hydroxypatite (HA) resembles the natural bone mineral and has shown good bone bonding properties. In this work, porous polyurethanes have been prepared by a thermally induced phase separation technique. Freeze drying of the separated polymer/solvent ...
