Smart Electrospun Nanofibers for Controlled Oil‐Water Separation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Stimuli‐responsive electrospun nanofibers are reviewed as advanced platforms for controlled oil/water separation. The effects of surface wettability, porous structure, and external stimuli, including pH, temperature, gas, and light, on separation performance are discussed.

Anaerobic Bioremediation of Groundwater Containing High Concentrations of cis-1,2-Dichloroethene Using Solid Amendments

Revista Águas Subterrâneas, 2013
A ruptured degreaser introduced trichloroethylene (TCE) into groundwater at an industrial facility in Stephenville, TX. Groundwater near the source zone (30m by 15m) had TCE concentrations near 500 mg/L, suggesting that un-dissolved contaminant was ...

Upscaling Pulsed Laser Fragmentation in Liquids by Advanced Free‐Flow Setups

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Advanced flow setups providing thin colloid films are introduced to upscale pulsed laser fragmentation in liquids for sustainable nanoparticle synthesis. Their potential is demonstrated by yielding remarkably small ZnO nanoparticles of <7 nm. Numerical simulations complement the study, revealing that the superior performance can be attributed to ...

Multilayer Biobased Poly(ethylene furanoate)/Graphene Oxide Nanofibrous Membranes With Directional Water Transport for Efficient Microplastics Filtration

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled multilayer biobased PEF/GO nanofibrous membrane was developed by electrospinning for efficient PLA microplastics (MPs) filtration. The membrane combines superhydrophilicity, directional water transport, mechanical robustness, and a synergistic size‐exclusion interception and electrostatic repulsion MPs separation mechanism, enabling ...
