Here we present a new strategy of selectively rejecting water vapor while allowing fast transport of dry gases using temperature-controlled aligned-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (aligned-MWNTs). The mechanism is based on the water vapor condensation at the entry region of nanotubes followed by removing aggregated water droplets at the tip of the superhydrophobic aligned-MWNTs. The first condensa...

Versatile Filter Transfer Method for Carbon-Nanotube Thin Films In article number 2100953, Manabu Ishizaki, Masato Kurihara, and co-workers develop a solution-processed press-free transfer method of carbon-nanotube (CNT) thin films onto arbitrary materials by using polytetrafluoroethylene membrane filters. Topically, CNT can be transferred solvent-sensitive perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) layer as top-...

because most contaminants in water create strong interactions with hydrophobic surfaces, there are usually problems such as flux decline and pore blocking in polyethylene (pe) membranes due to irreversible adsorption of foulants on their intrinsic hydrophobic surface. therefore, in this work, attempts were made to improve the properties of pe membranes in terms of water flux and membrane foulin...

direct contact membrane distillation (dcmd) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. dcmd is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...

In this work, Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) was applied for the treatment of municipal wastewater collected from primary clarifier a plant (MWWTP). The water flux at 60℃ and 20℃ feed permeate side, respectively 51 kg/m2h in treating effluent. Meanwhile, electrical conductivity distillate good range 1.5 – 1.8 S/cm. Most representative parameters reuse (SS, nitrate, nitrite, phospha...

Cell membranes have a complex lateral organization featuring domains with distinct composition, also known as rafts, which play an essential role in cellular processes such as signal transduction and protein trafficking. In vivo, perturbations of membrane domains (e.g., by drugs or lipophilic compounds) have major effects on the activity of raft-associated proteins and on signaling pathways, bu...
