DOI: 10.1002/admi.201400493 wavelength and amplitude ( Figure 1 a). Further increase in the strain level triggered the transition from wrinkles to folds, creating well-defi ned closed channels with a diameter in the nanoscale range (Figure 1 b). The characteristic dimensions of the channels such as wavelength, amplitude, and diameter were robustly tunable by changing the duration of oxygen plas...

Textile industry wastewater (TIWW) is a major source of environmental pollution causing serious threats to all life forms and thus, it must be adequately treated before its final discharge for the safety environment public health. In present study, potential bacterial strain (RKS9) was isolated from textile (wastewater & sludge) sample effective treatment TIWW resulting in significant reduction...

This study was designed to investigate the microorganisms associated with palm oil mill effluent (POME) in Johor Bahru state, Malaysia. Biodegradation of palm oil mill effluents (POME) was conducted to measure the discarded POME based on physicochemical quality. The bacteria that were isolated are Micrococcus species, Bacillus species, Pseudomonas species, and Staphylococcus aureus, while the f...

One kind of adsorbent with a high adsorption capacity for anionic dyes was prepared using ionically and chemically cross-linked chitosan beads. A batch system was applied to study the adsorption behavior of one acid dye (MY, metanil yellow) and one reactive dye (RB15, reactive blue 15) in aqueous solutions by the cross-linked chitosan beads. The adsorption capacities was 3.56 mmol g(-1) (1334 m...

Isolated Enterococcus faecalis YZ 66 strain shows ability to decolorize various industrial dyes among which, it showed complete decolorization and degradation of toxic, sulfonated recalcitrant diazo dye Direct Red 81 (50 mg/L) within 1.5 h of incubation under static anoxic condition. The optimum pH and temperature for decolorization was 7.0 and 40°C, respectively. Significant induction in the a...

DOI: 10.1002/admi.201700873 transport.[20] When interfaced with an electrolyte, redox events in conjugated poly mer films are also accompanied by film swelling or deswelling due to ion and/or solvent diffusion into or out of the films, respectively. The response times and fatigue resistances of devices that subject electroactive films to periodic cycles of oxidation/reduction are, thus, crucial...

DOI: 10.1002/admi.201500080 concerns pine cones, where asymmetrically positioned differently aligned layers of the nanoand mesoscale cellulose fi brils induce asymmetric water swelling, leading to bending. [ 15 ] In this way, the structure can be considered to be a biological counterpart to so-called bilayer actuators, which are extensively used in technology and science, involving different ex...
