-In this work, a vibrating search algorithm is applied to design a normal-incidence broadband visible antireflection (AR) coating on the flexible Polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, and then AR coats PES using ion-assisted deposition (IAD). The average visible spectral reflectivities of calculated and experimental AR performances are reduced to below 0.321 and 0.327%, respectively, revealing very...

A novel sensing material based on pyrene doped polyethersulfone worm-like structured thin film is developed using a facile technique for detection of nitroaromatic explosive vapours. The formation of π-π stacking in the thin fluorescent film allows a highly sensitive fluorescence quenching which is detectable by the naked eye in a response time of a few seconds.

Microwave-assisted quaternization of glycine (GLY) resulted in the synthesis of an efficient catalyst, quaternized glycine (QGLY), for the solventless synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2 under mild reaction conditions. Density functional theory was used to simulate the synergistic influence of the COOH group and the halide ion of QGLY in enhancing the catalytic activity.

The synthesis and characterization of four di- and tri-n-butyltin cysteaminates and N,N-dimethylcysteaminates and three protonated / quaternized derivatives are reported. They all exhibit moderate or high in vitro cytotoxic activity. Six of seven compounds presented in this work are more active than cisplatin, etoposide and 5-fluorouracil, but less active than methotrexate and doxorubicin.

a microporous bisphenol a diglycidyl ether (dgeba) epoxified-polyethersulfone (pes) blend membrane (epes membrane) was prepared through dry-wet phase inversion. this study attempts to correlate the changes in membrane physical and chemical properties when the epes membranes were exposed to different durations of dry-phase inversion, towards the separation efficiency of carcinogen chromium (vi)....

Multi-stimuli responsive hydrogels are synthesized using self-assembled nanomicelles of Pluronic F127 diacrylate triblock copolymer as non-covalent macro-crosslinkers to in situ copolymerize with acrylamide and methyl chloride quaternized N,N-dimethylamino ethylacrylate monomers, generating positively charged hydrogels. These hydrogels showed high strength, toughness, and outstanding fatigue re...

Polyethersulfone-sulfonated polyethersulfone (PES-SPES)/NaY zeolite/nylon sandwich structure membranes were prepared and used to adsorb Cu2+ from water. The adsorption kinetics, isotherm, dynamic experiment, reusability discussed. experimental data showed that the Langmuir isotherm model, Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R) pseudo-first-order kinetic model can well represent of on membrane, indicating a...
