asymmetrically mixed matrix matrimid-mil-53 membranes with silicone cover layer were fabricated. for better understanding of membrane fabrication process, three main parameters of fabrication, matrimid concentration, silicone concentration and weight percentage of metal organic framework (mil-53) particles, were optimized by an experimental design method. cross-section sem images were used to s...

the preparation of polymer membrane selective to iron(ii) ion and its application to ion-selectiveelectrode is reported here. pvc membrane contains iron–selective n-phenylaza-15-crown-5 asionophore. the membrane electrode is highly selective to iron(ii) ion and exhibit good linearresponse over a wide concentration range of 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 10-6 m with nernstian slope of29.2 ± 0.6 mv per deca...

Blend reverse osmosis membranes were fabricated using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with cellulose acetate (CA) as polymer blends. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) were used as solvents. The membrane polymer solution was cast on a coated woven fabric support material. The prepared membranes have been characterized by SEM and mechanical properties. SEM r...

the aim of the current study was to design a porous osmotic pump–based drug delivery system for controlling the release of buspirone from the delivery system. the osmotic pump was successfully developed using symmetric membrane coating. the core of the tablets was prepared by direct compression technique and coated using dip-coating technique. drug release from the osmotic system was studied us...

Sorghum is among the most important forages used in arid and semi-arid regions of south-eastern Iran. Application of some materials such as super absorbent polymer (SAP) in soil can increase soil water storage capacity and increase water use efficiency. The aim of the study was to estimate the relative membrane permeability of sorghum under irrigation regimes and superabsorbent polymer applicat...

carbon membrane can be produced using a wide variety of polymer precursor materials via heat treatment process. a general concept route of precursor selection-preparation-modification-performance analysis platform for the carbon membrane has been proposed to promote the development of carbon membrane material for a wide range of application. the current review considers the recent progress of c...

We theoretically study phase transitions of a polymer threading through a pore imbedded in a membrane. We focus on the coupling between a partition of the polymer segments through the membrane and a coil-globule transition of the single polymer chain. Based on the Flory model for collapse transitions of a polymer chain, we calculate the fraction of polymer segments and the expansion factor of a...

in this study, the influence of the salts as an additive on the performance of the membrane was investigated and an extensive work was performed to optimize pvdf hollow fiber membranes through a response surface methodology (rsm). the prepared membranes were characterized by sem, contact angle and lep measurement. then, the rsm was used for the optimization of surface pore size, porosity and hy...
