Fossil sources are the main raw materials for polymer synthesis, while only a small amount
of these resources are renewable. Nevertheless, the production of polymers from both bio …

Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has gained attention due to its use as a salinity gradient
energy-generating membrane process. This process can convert difference in salinity …

HF spinning is a potential configuration in membrane technology due to its self-supporting
properties and high productivity per unit volume. The fabrication of HF membrane is affected …

Using high salinity draw solutions in pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) demands novel
membranes with a higher withstanding pressure and a higher power density to take full …

In this work, a small amount of hydrophilic perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) is incorporated into
the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrate to develop the high-performance thin-film …

Herein, a novel highly selective thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membrane
with high water flux (J w) and low reverse salt flux (J s) was fabricated with a rationally …

Thin film composite (TFC) hollow fiber nanofiltration (NF) membranes were fabricated via
interfacial polymerization, with mixed diamines of piperazine (PIP) and 2, 2′-bis (1-hydroxyl …

A novel ion-imprinted blend membrane was fabricated to separate selectively platinum (IV)
from aqueous media. An amphiphilic copolymer poly (methyl methacrylate)-b-poly (4 …

Processes that can transform a salinity gradient into electrical energy have gained attention
in recent years. One such process, which uses semipermeable membranes to generate …

This study presents the successful fabrication of a novel defect-free outer-selective hollow
fiber (OSHF) thin-film composite (TFC) membrane for forward osmosis (FO) applications …
