The most important part of the membrane synthesis process so that it has desired pores is solidification membrane, begins with a change from one liquid phase into two phases (liquid-liquid demixing). At certain period during demixing, polymer-rich solidifies; thus, dense matrix formed. Parameters determine mechanism formation are based on thermodynamics including separation Solvent-Polymer-Non-...

The continuum model of dipolar solvation dynamics is reviewed. The effects of non-spherical molecular shapes, of non-Debye dielectric relaxation of the polar solvent and of dielectric inhomogeneity of the solvent around the solute dipole are investigated. Several new theoretical results are presented. It is found that our generalized continuum model, which takes into account the dielectric inho...

The dielectric constant impacts on oriented attachment as well solubility and morphology.

Polyethersulfone (PES)-based anion exchange blend membranes were prepared from quaternized-PES (Q-PES) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) casting solutions with water as coagulant via non-solvent induced phase inversion. The compatibility of the blend system was investigated through thermodynamic studies while membrane formation was determined using the cloud point techni...

Low volatility solvent/non-solvent mixtures were utilized to engineer the structure of poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) organogels. The ratio of solvent to poor-solvent was manipulated to systematically control the kinetics of self-assembly. Specific solvent mixtures were utilized to produce similar gelation kinetics with polymers of differing alkyl chain length. Simultaneous small angle neutron s...

in this study, the ion association phenomenon in the saturated solution of kcl in the mixed solvent(methanol+water) was studied. the solubility of this compound in the mixed solvent (methanol+water by value percent of methanol = 60%), and in the presence of various molarities of nano3 wasdetermined by the solvent evaporation method at 25.0°c. the results enable us to estimate the valueof thermo...

We introduce and study the behavior of a tethered membrane of non-zero thickness embedded in three dimensions subject to an effective self-attraction induced by hydrophobicity arising from the tendency to minimize the area exposed to a solvent. The phase behavior and the nature of the folded conformations are found to be quite distinct in the small and large solvent size regimes. We demonstrate...
