Selectivity for monovalent anions is very important property of anion exchange membranes
(AEMs) for making drinking water along with high antifouling property. Generally, standard …

The state of the art in optical biosensing is focused on reaching high sensitivity at a single
wavelength by using any type of optical resonance. This common strategy, however …

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a desalination technique that can be applied for the
separation of target ions from water streams. For instance, mono-and divalent cation …

The influence of a first (anchoring) layer and film treatment on the structure and properties of
polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films obtained from polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and …

Nanocomposite microcapsules with both gold and magnetite nanoparticles in the shell were
prepared in a layer-by-layer procedure using biocompatible polyelectrolytes and …

Polyelectrolyte (PE) multilayer films are surface structures obtained by sequential adsorption
of oppositely charged polymers. In the present work we focused on the influence of pH of the …

Often inspired by nature, techniques for precise droplet manipulation have found
applications in microfluidics, microreactors, and water harvesting. However, a widely …

The sequential adsorption of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes called the “layer by layer”
technique is a method for formation of ultrathin films with controlled thickness and interfacial …

Exploring ways to remove foulants is of great importance for sustainable membrane
operation in wastewater treatment. This study investigates the efficiency of humic acid …
