Applying Membrane Distillation for the Recovery of Nitrate from Saline Water Using PVDF Membranes Modified as Superhydrophobic Membranes by Fatemeh Ebrahimi, Yasin Orooji, Amir Razmjou

“…Consequently, the membrane was modified using TiO₂ nanoparticles to make a hierarchical surface with multi-layer roughness on the micro/nanoscales. Furthermore, 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorododecyltrichlorosilane (FTCS) was added to the modified surface to change its hydrophobic properties into superhydrophobic properties and to improve its performance. …”

Numerical Study of the Time–Periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Viscoelastic Fluid through a Short Constriction Microchannel by Jianyu Ji, Shizhi Qian, Armani Marie Parker, Xiaoyu Zhang

“…Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is of utmost significance due to its numerous practical uses in controlling flow at micro/nanoscales. In the present study, the time–periodic EOF of a viscoelastic fluid is statistically analyzed using a short 10:1 constriction microfluidic channel joining two reservoirs on either side. …”

Biomechanics of the Human Osteochondral Unit: A Systematic Review by Matteo Berni, Gregorio Marchiori, Massimiliano Baleani, Gianluca Giavaresi, Nicola Francesco Lopomo

“…Compression and indentation are the most common experimental techniques studying the mechanical behaviour of the OC tissues, with indentation also being able to provide information at the micro- and nanoscales. While a certain comparability among studies was highlighted, none of the identified testing protocols are currently recognised as standard for any of the OC tissues. …”
