Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Permeation of Acetone/Nitrogen Mixed Gas through Al2O3 Microporous Membranes

In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) was performed to simulate the dynamic processes of 1:4 acetone/nitrogen permeating through different Al2O3 membranes by Materials Studio 2.2 software package. Three modeling systems were constructed applying different modeling box lengths as well as different hollow size and texture of Al2O3 membranes to compare different permeation behaviors. In each syste...

Microporous Silica Based Membranes for Desalination

This review provides a global overview of microporous silica based membranes for desalination via pervaporation with a focus on membrane synthesis and processing, transport mechanisms and current state of the art membrane performance. Most importantly, the recent development and novel concepts for improving the hydro-stability and separating performance of silica membranes for desalination are ...

Hybrid microporous membranes intended for protective clothing

Self-decontaminating materials are defined as substances or objects designed and fabricated to deactivate pathogenic microorganisms or chemical warfare agents. Self-decontamination makes it possible for continuous protection against toxic materials. In order to develop destructive barriers against biological and chemical air pollutants, protective clothing and membranes using catalytic or enzym...

Investigating the Effect of Various Oxidizing Agents on the Surface Functionalization of Microporous Polypropylene Membranes

Sumoylation dynamics during keratinocyte differentiation.

SUMO modification regulates the activity of numerous transcription factors that have a direct role in cell-cycle progression, apoptosis, cellular proliferation, and development, but its role in differentiation processes is less clear. Keratinocyte differentiation requires the coordinated activation of a series of transcription factors, and as several crucial keratinocyte transcription factors a...
