In this work proton exchange membranes were prepared by a modified microwave casting solution technique, using the polymers blend (polyethersulfone (PES), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylidenefluride (PVDF)). Modified method was used to overcome poor compatibility between hydrophilic, (PES, PS) and hydrophobic PVDF, cooling substrate during film process (4.5-5.5oC). Membranes chemically three reacti...

This paper presents the development of water-permeable dialysis membranes that are suitable for an implantable microdialysis system that does not use dialysis fluid. We developed a microdialysis system integrating microfluidic channels and nanoporous filtering membranes made of polyethersulfone (PES), aiming at a fully implantable system that drastically improves the quality of life of patients...

Membrane-based technologies have been widely used for surface water treatment. Yet, many aspects of this technology can still be improved. This study aims to develop polyethersulfone (PES)-based phase-inverted membranes improve the morphological structure, antimicrobial properties, and performance by incorporating Poloxamer 188 patchouli oil as dope solution additives. The membrane was assessed...

Abstract Plant biology experiments in microgravity face many challenges, among which are the constraints of growth platforms available on International Space Station (ISS). Protocols for preservation and sample return to Earth often limit efficient dissection seedlings downstream tissue-specific analysis. The Advanced Experiment (APEx)-07 spaceflight experiment required a large quantity dissect...

Inkjet printing has emerged as a promising low-cost and high-performance method for manufacturing printing-based devices. However, the development of optimized substrates inkjet using novel materials is limited. In this study, polymeric substrate flexible electronic devices fabricated thin-film processing phase inversion polyethersulfone (PES). The PES film consists two layers pores; upper laye...
