polyamide 6 has been widely used in food packaging applications and also green tea contains amounts of antioxidant compounds. the aim of this study was investigation of green tea effects on properties of polyamide packaging polymer. polyamide 6 was dissolved in methanol which was saturated with calcium chloride. the active packaging film was produced by incorporation of methanol green tea extra...

the effects of three levels of transmembrane pressure (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mpa) as well as three temperature  levels of: 30, 40 and 50°c on the efficiency of nanofiltration process of waste brine from the regeneration of ion exchange resins at sugar industry (to recover water and sodium chloride) were investigated throughout the current study. the polyamide tubular afc40 membrane manufactured by p...

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...

The surface and the solid/liquid interface of two polyamide membranes, one experimental (B0) and one commercial (NF45), have been characterized by X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and zeta potential, respectively. The surface roughness, determined by AFM data analysis, is different for the two membranes, and results show that the commercial NF45 membrane ...

Pyrrole-imidazole (PI) polyamide is a novel gene regulating agent that competitively inhibits transcription factor binding to the promoter of the specific target gene. Liver fibrosis is an integral stage in the development of chronic liver disease, and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is known to play a central role in the progression of this entity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the...

The structure of the polyamide (PA) nanofilm formed via interfacial polymerization (IP) is vital to permeance-selectivity composite membranes. However, it challenging control morphology (e.g., nodules, ridge-and-valley) PA due fast IP kinetics. Herein, we deconstructed kinetic pathways probe and demonstrated that (I) main skeleton was composed sub-10 nm nanoclusters; (II) growth assembly nanocl...

The fluorescence from tetramethyl rhodamine in hairpin polyamide tetramethyl rhodamine (TMR) conjugates is quenched in solution. TMR fluoresces brightly upon polyamide binding match DNA. Similar behavior is not observed in the presence of mismatch DNA; the hairpin polyamide-fluorophore conjugates therefore provide a smallmolecule fluorescent means for detecting chosen DNA sequences in homogenou...
