The plasticization of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) in the presence of solid particles differs from pure glassy polymeric membranes. This study aims to develop a mathematical model for gas permeability in the glassy ...

The conventional nanofiber-supported forward osmosis (FO) membrane possessed some issues, for example, easy deformation and weak interfacial strength between the substrate and selective layer. A dual-layered composite ...

Oil-water separation using hierarchical-structured superhydrophobic and superoleophilic membranes have been recently received remarkable attention. In this study, a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) based membrane was ...

the preparation of high-performance hemodialysis membrane, the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and also the simultaneous effect of both additives in the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane were ...

Electrospinning of nanofibrous mats to create new membranes has been widely investigated, however surface modification of commercial membranes by electrospinning of nanofiber layer has received limited attention. In this ...

The incorporation of nanoparticles into a polymer membrane has been an attractive option to minimize the membrane fouling. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite membranes incorporated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes ...
