Over the past decade, many applications were intended for filtration by membrane technology especially the thin film composite (TFC) membranes. In advanced developments of thin film membranes, an attempt was made to spread a new generation of membranes called thin film nano composite (TFN) membranes. However, in the last generation of TFNs, an ultrathin selective film of nanoparticles is coated...

Background and Objectives: Kefiran (Kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. Therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. The expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) as a new composite film. Materials and Methods: Solutions of 20 gr...

Abstract: Different thickness of Cu2S thin films were prepared by vacuum evaporation under a pressure of 10-6 torr at an evaporation rate of 3Å /sec. Cu2S has direct band gap energy and indirect band gap energy at 1.2eV and 1.8 eV respectively. This paper presents the analysis of structural and optical properties of the Cu2S thin film by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotomet...

The conducting polymer films have been widely applied in the field of electrochemistry owing to their goodstability, permselectivity, unique physical and chemical properties. A novel nano-Au/poly (4-aminobenzoicacid) (PABA) film modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated for sensitive detection of acetaminophenin this paper. The PABA film and nano-Au/PABA film were characterized by scanning...

Black plastic film mulching is widely practiced in crop production, especially horticultural systems, because of its multiple benefits. However, post-usage polluting residues and limited availability to farmers at all places cause concern. The objective this study was evaluate a field experiment the potential commonly available stationery-purpose poly-coated brown wrapping sheet bhendi [Abelmos...

objective: different educational tools are now commonly used in universities worldwide such as illustrations, audio and videotapes, etc. this study aimed to compare the efficacy of educational film and clinical demonstration for instruction of fiber-reinforced composite (frc) post restorations to dental students in department of restorative dentistry.   methods: this interventional study was co...

background tissue engineering is used for the treatment of many diseases, and the ideal cell source for cartilage tissue engineering is chondrocytes. the main limitation of chondrocyte is the low number of cells in cartilage tissue engineering. this study investigated a suitable cell source with high proliferation rate to obtain a large number of chondrocytes. methods adult cartilage tissue sam...
