Improving membrane durability associated with fouling and chlorine resistance remains one of the major challenges in desalination membrane technology.Here,we de
There is now growing evidence that the creation of a nanometer-size boundary layer (the so-called "bound polymer layer (BPL)") at the polymer melt/solid interfa
The urea-induced aggregation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM)and poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide)(PDEAM)globules was studied by using a combination of stat
We have investigated experimentally the structure formation processes during phase separation via spinodal decomposition above and below the spinodal line in a
Poly(lactic acid)(PLA)stereocomplex consisting of both enantiomeric poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)and poly(D-lactic acid)(PDLA)shows a melting temperature of 50
We apply poromechanics,originally developed to describe flow in macro-porous media such as soil,to quantifying the mechanical and transport properties of solven
