Exceptional high quality ZIF-8 membranes prepared through a novel seeded growth method in aqueous solutions at near room temperature exhibit excellent separation performance for C2/C3 hydrocarbon mixtures. The separation factors for mixtures of ethane/propane, ethylene/propylene and ethylene/propane are ∼80, ∼10 and ∼167, respectively.

A novel bone-targeted delivery systems based on nanocapsules was developed utilizing a Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF-8) as a template and catechol-modified gelatin as wall material. A targeting ligand was facilely conjugated on the surface of nanocapsules. Simvastatin was encapsulated within the nanocapsules with a loading of 37.9%. Hydroxyapatite binding and in vivo biodistribution of th...

The liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) method was effectively implemented to deliberately grow/construct ultrathin (0.5-1 μm) continuous and defect-free ZIF-8 membranes. Permeation properties of different gas pair systems (O2-N2, H2-CO2, CO2-CH4, C3H6-C3H8, CH4-n-C4H10) were studied using the time lag technique.

This work aims to shed light on the performance of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks for hydrogen purification from coke oven gases (COG). Using molecular simulation, we model COG as a mixture six and study effect ZIF topology separation performance. To do this, compare similar structures, e.g., ZIF-8 ZIF-11, focus obtaining information that explains why they behave differently while being so sim...

Bacteria are difficult to be eliminated because of their multi-drug resistance, which brings significant threats public health. Among the antibacterial methods, mechanobactericidal surfaces provide a possible approach solving this problem. In study, generally used mechanical sterilization is developed by fabricating nanostructured coating. The functional coating simply fabricated growing zeolit...

Abstract Poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) membranes are prepared via evaporating part solvent of the casting solution before its nonsolvent-induced phase separation. Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is added into PMIA as an inorganic filler to improve filtration capability membrane. The structure composite characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Zeta-potential analyz...
