The viscoelasticity of several polymers has been determined using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). For the same materials the sliding wear in multiple scratching along the same groove has also been determined. The materials studied were polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), styrene/ acrylonitrile (SAN), Surlyn, polyethersulfone (PES), acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP),...

To improve the energy efficiency of membrane distillation (MD), localized heating feed-membrane interface is advantageous relative to bulk feed. This motivated current study, which targeted at developing a simple two-step way fabricating Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG) Janus for electrothermal distillation. Specifically, had an electrically conductive graphene side and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) ...

Abstract Research has been carried out on hydrophobic membranes based polyethersulfone (PES) polymers using Mg(OH) 2 additives. PES are made by blending additive because structurally bound OH groups play an important role. In addition, is also cheap and easy to obtain non-toxic. This study aims improve the performance of membranes, studying effect adding additives into membrane system which was...

In this study, an ultrasonic irradiation technique was utilized to mitigate the fouling of polyethersulfone (PES) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The use of ultrasound at 20 kHz was applied to a dead-end microfiltration cell in order to mitigate fouling caused by the presence of colloidal bentonite particles. The effect of ultrasonic power and pulse duration on the permeate flux r...

Flexible conductive-bridging random-access-memory (RAM) cells were fabricated with a cross-bar memory cell stacked with a top Ag electrode, conductive polymer (poly(n-vinylcarbazole): PVK), electrolyte (polyethylene oxide: PEO), bottom Pt electrode, and flexible substrate (polyethersulfone: PES), exhibiting the bipolar switching behavior of resistive random access memory (ReRAM). The cell also ...

The development of chemically and mechanically stable nanocomposite membranes with high permeability self-cleaning properties is important for various wastewater treatment applications. Two-dimensional MXene (Ti3C2Tx) nanomaterials have attracted increasing research interest in applications, including membrane-based separation technologies treatment. Zwitterion functionalization has been widely...

Catalytic membranes, as a combination of heterogeneous advanced oxidation and membrane technology reaction systems, have important application prospects in the treatment dyes other organics. In practical applications, it is still challenging to construct catalytic membranes with excellent removal efficiency fouling mitigation. Herein, molybdenum disulfide-iron oxyhydroxide (MoS2-FeOOH) was fabr...

In this study, novel mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were synthesised by adding metal organic frameworks (MOFs) (UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH 2 ) to pristine sulfonated polyethersulfone (PES). The differing synthetic method resulting in MMM where additives grafted the polymer, or formed a natural interface, allowing impact of these features be investigated. composite characterised FTIR, PXRD, water conta...
