This study reports a CMOS-MEMS condenser microphone implemented using the standard thin film stacking of 0.35 μm UMC CMOS 3.3/5.0 V logic process, and followed by post-CMOS micromachining steps without introducing any special materials. The corrugated diaphragm for the microphone is designed and implemented using the metal layer to reduce the influence of thin film residual stresses. Moreover, ...

In this study, novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes were developed by incorporating graphene oxide (GO) and Aquaporin Z (AqpZ) reconstituting nanostructure (AQN) into the polyamide (PA) active layer to improve forward osmosis (FO) performances of PA TFN membranes. First, AQN loading in was optimized, followed GO addition at various loadings until optimal FO process performance attained...

In this research work, silica nano-porous thin films were deposited on glass substrates by layer by layer method. The thin films were calcinated at various calcination temperatures (200, 300, 400, and 500 °C). The morphology, surface characteristics, surface roughness and hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total ...

Thin film composite (TFC) membranes easily suffer from fouling induced by oil and other pollutants during forward osmosis (FO) due to the relatively hydrophobic chemistry rough structure of polyamide (PA). To achieve comprehensive anti-fouling properties, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-co-2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride) (MPC-co-AEMA) was immobilized on top a polyketone (...

Synthetic dyes comprise a large group of organic, organic salt and organometallic compounds which number in the thousands. Most individual dyes are assigned colour index (CI) numbers which helps to identify structure and properties as well as identity where a series of names have been used by the manufacturers for the same dye. Pigments are also listed and can be either organic or inorganic in ...
