Anti-fouling membranes by manipulating surface wettability and their anti-fouling mechanism

, 2017
This study aims to compare the anti-wetting and anti-fouling surface behavior in membrane distillation (MD) by two surface modification routes on porous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. A superhydrophobic membrane (SiO-PFTS/PVDF) was obtained by

Oral Nanomicelle‐Mediated Sequential Butyrate Production in the Intestine for Ulcerative Colitis and Immunosuppression Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
After oral administration, inodorous GLU‐BA self‐assembles into nanomicelles in aqueous environments to resist premature gastric adsorption. Upon reaching the intestine, endogenous esterases rapidly cleave the built‐in ester bonds in these nanomicelles to release BA and GLU, with GLU further metabolized by gut microbiota to gradually generate BA ...
