Abstract An integrally skinned organic solvent-resistant membrane with asymmetric structure for solvent nanofiltration (OSN) application was developed via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) of nanocomposite polyamide 6. The 6 contains intercalated silicate sheets, which could improve the mechanical properties resultant membrane, as well mitigate swelling after exposure in solvent. influe...

Phase inversion processes, in which a polymer is transformed from thin solution film into solid matrix upon exposure to another gas/liquid phase or temperature change, represent the most widely used manufacturing technique for polymeric membranes. However, level of understanding connection between process variables and final membrane structure remains surprisingly empirical. Modeling efforts ha...

Nanofiber scaffolds have emerged as a revolutionary drug delivery platform for promoting wound healing, due to their unique properties, including high surface area, interconnected porosity, excellent breathability, and moisture absorption, well spatial structure which mimics the extracellular matrix. However, use of nanofibers achieve controlled loading release still presents many challenges, w...
