Whilst hydrogels and hollow particles both continue to attract much attention in the literature there are few examples of hydrogel composites containing hollow particles. Here, we study composite polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels containing micrometer-sized pH-responsive shell-crosslinked hollow particles (abbreviated as HPXL) based on poly(methylmethacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) functionalised w...

Two opposite design strategies for ultrafiltration/microfiltration filters, (1) reduction of concentration polarization and particle deposition to increase permeate velocity and (2) utilization of particle deposition on membrane surface to produce an additional (to permeate) volume of clarified water, are analyzed. It is shown that the first strategy is always associated with additional expendi...

Ceramic−carbonate dual-phase membranes have attracted a lot of attention because of the emission of CO2 and environmental problems. In this study, a dense SrFe0.8Nb0.2O3−δ−carbonate dual-phase multichannel hollow fiber membrane has been successfully prepared via a phase inversion−sintering technique and impregnation. The morphology, crystal structure, phase stability, breaking load, and CO2 per...

Take the ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVAL) copolymer as the infrastructural material, the anion exchange resin D301R as the functional grains, adopt dry-wet method to make resin-filled EVAL hollow fiber membrane, test the pure water flux of the membrane, the rejection rate of the bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the static absorption performance of BSA. Check the influences of coagulation bath temper...
