a pebax-nano zeolite x mixed matrix membrane was fabricated and operationally characterized using single gas (co2) permeation. x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis was used to study the arrangement of polymer chains of mixed matrix membrane. the membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) to study cross-sectional morphology. the single gas permeability were carried out for ne...

Mixtures of nonadsorbing polymer and colloidal particles exhibit a range of different morphologies depending on the particle and polymer concentrations and their relative size ratios. These can be very important for technological applications, where gelation can produce a weak solidlike structure that can help reduce phase separation, extending product shelf life. However, industrial products a...

A comparative study of fluorescence relaxation kinetics of σ-conjugated poly(methylphenylsilane) (PMPS) polymer film and nanocomposites has been performed by ultrafast time-gated fluorescence measurements at various temperatures. Investigations have revealed a fine structure of excitonic σ-σ* band. We attribute this structure to emission from two spatially independent states with different orde...

This study demonstrates the preparation, structure, and properties of polymer-impregnated wood (PIW) based on novel Muchelia macclurei wood through the in-situ polymerization of vinyl and functional monomers. Mixed monomers of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) (2:1 molar ratio) were effectively vacuum/pressure impregnated into the cellular structure of the f...

in this work, electrocatalyst with core-shell structure (pd as core and pt as shell on vulcanxc-72r) was synthesis. not only this structure can reduce the amount of platinum but it also can increase the gas diffusion electrode (gde) performance in cathode reaction (oxygen reduction reaction or orr) of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (pemfc). to this meaning, one series of electrocatalyst...

We report a simple and convenient method for fabricating ordered porous structure in a polymeric thin film. A temporarily stabilized water-in-oil emulsion, where aqueous droplets were dispersed in the medium of polymer-organic solvent solution, was utilized for the preparation of porous structure. The water-in-oil emulsion was simply prepared by sonicating the mixture of water and polymer-organ...
