Nanoparticles of zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (nZIF-7) were blended with poly(ether imide) (PEI) to fabricate a new mixed-matrix membrane (nZIF-7/PEI). nZIF-7 was chosen in order to demonstrate the power of postsynthetic modification (PSM) by linker exchange of benzimidazolate to benzotriazolate for tuning the permeability and selectivity properties of a resulting membrane (PSM-nZIF-7/PEI)....

the purpose of this work was to study the effect of various permeation enhancers on the permeation of salbutamol sulphate (ss) buccal patches through buccal mucosa in order to improve the bioavailability by avoiding the first pass metabolism in the liver and possibly in the gut wall and also achieve a better therapeutic effect. the influence of various permeation enhancers, such as dimethyl sul...

polycrystalline mfi zeolite membranes were prepared on α-alumina tubular support by hydrothermal treatments at 413 k. the synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by xrd, sem and single gas permeation. the influence of hydrothermal treatment steps and the calcination time on the zeolite layer formation were investigated. mfi zeolite membrane prepared by four subsequent hydrothermal trea...

mfi-type zeolite membranes (zsm-5) were prepared on α-alumina tubular supports and tested for separation of h2/co mixtures. the effect of pressure and temperature on h2 and co flows and selectivity was investigated. the best results in this work were obtained with a zsm-5 membrane prepared over a porous α-alumina tube seeded with zeolite nanocrystals synthesized with microwave technique. in thi...

Polyimide shells are used as targets in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiments. These shells are filled with DT gas, then cooled to low temperatures for cryogenic laser shots. During target preparation, shells require careful pressure and temperature control due to their sensitivity. The pressure is governed partly by permeation through the shell wall, which can only be determined with t...

Polycrystalline MFI zeolite membranes were prepared on α-alumina tubular support by hydrothermal treatments at 413 K. The synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by XRD, SEM and single gas permeation. The influence of hydrothermal treatment steps and the calcination time on the zeolite layer formation were investigated. MFI zeolite membrane prepared by four subsequent hydrothermal ...

A PEBAX-nano zeolite X mixed matrix membrane was fabricated and operationally characterized using single gas (CO2) permeation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to study the arrangement of polymer chains of mixed matrix membrane. The membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study cross-sectional morphology. The single gas permeability were carried...
