A solid bar microextraction (SBME) method containing sorbent materials 2 mg in the lumen of a porous hollow fiber membrane 2.5 cm for the extraction of carbamazepine, diclofenac and ibuprofen from river water samples is described. The desorbed analytes were analyzed using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. In order to achieve optimum performance, s...

this study focuses on the preparation and modification of a thin-film composite (tfc) hollow fiber polyamide membrane fabricated by the interfacial polymerization of piperazine (pip) and trimesoyl chloride (tmc) on a porous polysulfone substrate. the effects of triethylenetetramine (teta) and silica nanoparticles (sio2) contents in the aqueous phase (as the additives) on the morphology and perf...

Polyvinylidene fluoride/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVDF/PVP) hollow fiber membranes were fabricated by dry-jet wet-spinning process. The correlated effects of the air gap length and PVP concentration ((1) the air gap length effect at the low and high PVP concentration in the dope solutions, as well as (2) the effect of the PVP concentration at the same air gap length) on the cross-section structure ...

Thiazolidinedione, often shortened to TZD or glitazone, helps lower insulin resistance, which is the underlying problem for many people with type 2 diabetes. The two most known glitazones are pioglitazone (PGZ), brand name medicine Actos®, and rosiglitazone (RSG), Avandia®. This study presented a multivariate optimization in microextraction procedure employing Fractional Factorial Design (FFD) ...

short): Hollow-core Optical Fiber Gas LASer (HOFGLAS) have been created, and explored in pulsed mode with C2H2 and HCN gas inside the hollow core of a kagome structured photonic crystal fiber, and nearideal efficiencies were realized for wavelengths near 1.5 μm (pump, 1 ns-pulses) and 3 μm (lasing). Improved fiber loss is realized near 3 μm to <1 dB/m. In addition, a pulsed CO2 waveguide (silve...

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are the potential group of chemicals used to improve agricultural productivity. The extensive use of pesticides to improve agricultural productivity played an important role in the last century. These compounds have been applied for decades in preventing, repelling or mitigating the effects of pests. OCPs are one of the most persistent organic pollutants present...
