Textural Stability of Titania-Alumina Composite Membranes
Textural evolution (porosity reduction, pore and crystallite growth) in titania-alumina composite membranes has been studied using thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and N, physisorption techniques. The presence of alumina in the membranes improved the thermal stability of the porous texture by retarding the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation a...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Nafion and Titania/Nafion Composite Membranes for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells
Measurements of the mechanical and electrical properties of Nafion and Nafion/titania composite membranes in constrained environments are reported. The elastic and plastic deformation of Nafion-based materials decreases with both the temperature and water content. Nafion/titania composites have slightly higher elastic moduli. The composite membranes exhibit less strain hardening than Nafion. Co...
متن کاملComposite Chitosan/Agarose Ferrogels for Potential Applications in Magnetic Hyperthermia
Composite ferrogels were obtained by encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles at two different concentrations (2.0 and 5.0 % w/v) within mixed agarose/chitosan hydrogels having different concentrations of agarose (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% (w/v)) and a fixed concentration of chitosan (0.5% (w/v)). The morphological characterization carried out by scanning electron microscopy showed that dried composite ...
متن کاملChitosan Based Membranes for Separation, Pervaporation and Fuel Cell Applications: Recent Developments
Growing public health and environmental awareness accompanied by increasing number of stricter environmental regulations on wastes discharge. Attention has been focused on the use of biopolymers from renewable resources as alternatives to synthetic polymers [1]. Biopolymers are produced in nature by living organisms and plants, participate in the natural biocycle and are eventually degraded and...
متن کاملProtein adsorption through Chitosan–Alginate membranes for potential applications
BACKGROUND Chitosan and Alginate were used as biopolymers to prepare membranes for protein adsorption. The network requires a cross-linker able to form bridges between polymeric chains. Viscopearl-mini(®) (VM) was used as a support to synthesize them. Six different types of membranes were prepared using the main compounds of the matrix: VM, Chitosan of low and medium molecular weight, and Algin...
