Molecular dynamics simulations of the interactions of potential foulant molecules and a reverse osmosis membrane [PDF]

, 2011
Reverse osmosis (RO) is increasingly one of the most common technologies for desalination worldwide. However, fouling of the membranes used in the RO process remains one of the main challenges. In order to better understand the molecular basis of fouling

Rheological Property Modification of a Molten-State Polyamide through the Addition of an α-Olefin–Maleic Anhydride Copolymer

Molecules
The rheological properties of a polyamide (PA) resin with low crystallinity were modified by melt-mixing it with a small amount of an alternative α-olefin–maleic anhydride copolymer as a reactive compound.

The effects of microplastics size and type on entrapment by freshwater macrophytes under vertical and lateral deposition

Journal of Limnology
Marine and freshwater macrophytes are known to filter off microplastics from the water column; however, the effects of microplastic size and type on their retention by different macrophytes species have yet to be investigated.

Material Selection and Geometric Design for Few‐filament Shape Memory Polymer Yarns for Force Generation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain
