The physiochemical properties of reserve osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) polyamide (PA)
membranes are largely determined by their PA chemistry and coatings, if any. …

The performance of polyamide (PA) composite reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is
essentially determined by a dense skin layer several hundred nanometers thick. Improved …

Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes fouled by humic acid were systematically
characterized by transmission electron microscopy. All fouled membranes, except those with …

The physiochemical properties of 17 widely used commercial RO and NF polyamide (PA)
membranes were fully characterized by atomic force microscopy, transmission electron …

Optical metasurfaces are starting to find their way into integrated devices, where they can
enhance and control the emission, modulation, dynamic shaping, and detection of light waves. …

Fouling of reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes by humic acid, a
recalcitrant natural organic matter (NOM), was systematically investigated. The membrane flux …

In this work the effect of chlorination on the change of hydrogen bonding behavior and
performance of crosslinked aromatic polyamide membrane has been systematically investigated. …

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the extensive use of face masks and protective personal
equipment (PPE) kits has led to increasing degree of microplastic pollution (MP) because they …

The increased flux of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in consumer and commercial products
has become a viable threat, particularly if their release affects the environment. The aim of …

When disinfecting or cleaning agents contact polymer-based membranes, hydrolysis and
oxidation with the membrane change surface properties. The research reported here …
