VISCOSITY STUDIES ON CELLULOSE ACETATE SOLUTIONS

Studies of Electrospun Cellulose Acetate Nanofibrous Membranes

The objective of this work was to study the feasibility of preparing cellulose acetate (CA) nanofibrous membranes by electrospinning with single solvent and their potential applying as affinity membrane. CA solutions in dichloromethane (DCM), formic acid, acetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) were electrospun into nonwoven fiber membranes, respectively. The scanning electron microscope (SE...

Cellulose Acetate Nanofiltration Membranes for Cadmium Remediation

In this work, cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via non-solvent phase inversion technique (NIPS). Polymer concentration was varied from 22 to 25 wt% in order to study its effect on the membrane properties. The fabricated membranes were characterized in terms of morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, water content, water p...

Viscosity Solutions

Lu = aij(x)Diju for u ∈ C(Ω). Suppose u ∈ C(Ω) is a supersolution in Ω, i.e. Lu ≤ 0. Then if φ ∈ C(Ω) satisfies Lφ > 0, we get L(u− φ) < 0 in Ω, hence by the maximum principle, u− φ does not have interior local minima in Ω. Put differently, if φ ∈ C(Ω) is such that u− φ has a local minimum at x0 ∈ Ω, then necessarily Lφ(x0) ≤ 0. Geometrically, u− φ having a local minimum at x0 means that the gr...

On Viscosity Solutions of Hamilton-jacobi Equations

We consider the Dirichlet problem for Hamilton-Jacobi equations and prove existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on boundary data of Lipschitz continuous maximal viscosity solutions.
