Central composite experimental design applied to fabrication of LLDPE microporous membrane via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method

Preparation and characterization of polyethylene/ glass fiber composite membrane prepared via thermally induced phase separation method

Grinded glass fiber (GGF) embedded high density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation method. FESEM images showed that all the membranes had leafy structure, indicating a solid-liquid mechanism during phase separation. The results of EDX and TGA analyses confirmed that the fibers were dispersed in the HDPE matrix uniformly. Normalized water flux of t...

Fabrication of Gelatin Scaffolds Using Thermally Induced Phase Separation Technique

Gelatin is considered as a partially degraded product of collagen and it is a biodegradable polymer which can be used to produce scaffolds for tissue engineering. Three-dimensional, porous gelatin scaffolds were fabricated by thermally induced phase separation and freeze-drying method. Their porous structure and pore size were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Scaffolds with differ...

Experimental design applied to fabrication of PSf membranes via NIPS method Part1: Influential parameters on membrane porosity and mechanical strength

Study on the fouling behavior of HDPE/PE-g-MA/EVA blend membrane fabricated via thermally induced phase separation method

In this study, neat HDPE and HDPE/PE-g-MA/EVA blend membranes were fabricated via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method and their fouling behaviors were examined using filtration of BSA protein. Membranes were characterized using FESEM, AFM, ATR-FTIR analyses and porosity measurement. Fouling behavior of membranes was analyzed using the resistance-in-series (RIS), classic and combine...

Experimental design applied to fabrication of PSF membranes via NIP's method Part2:Influential parameters on pure water permeability and selection criteria for optimum membrane in MF process

Central Composite experimental design applied to removal of phenanthrene and acenaphthene from soil samples

Abstract In this work, removal of phenanthrene and acenaphthene, as a representative of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, was investigated from soil samples by the soil washing remediation method combined with Central Composite Design. Response surface methodology was utilized to investigate the individual and interactive effects of three variables of removal process including surfactant solut...
