Influence of nanoclay on the morphology of polypropylene foam by Chan, Weng Wan

“…The use of supercritical CO2 in the extrusion foaming of nanoclay composites was able to produce fine cells of less than10um. However, the melt strength of the nanocomposite PP was not able to withstand the foaming process and resulted in cell coalescence. …”

Dynamical blockade in a single-mode bosonic system by Ghosh, Sanjib, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin

“…We find that the underlying mechanism for the blockade is general, enhancing antibunching in the strongly nonlinear regime and inducing it in the weakly nonlinear regime, without fine-tuning the system parameters. Moreover, this mechanism shows advantages over existing blockade mechanisms and is suitable for implementation in a wide variety of systems due to its simplicity and universality.…”

Neuro‐immune interactions in health and disease: insights from FENS‐Hertie 2022 Winter School by Binder, LB, Rosa, PB, de Sousa, BM, Chagas, LS, Dubljević, O, Martineau, FS, Mottarlini, F, Castany, S, Morton, L, Krstanović, F, Tassinari, ID, Choconta, JL, Pereira‐Santos, AR, Weinhard, L, Pallegar, PN, Vahsen, BF, Lepiarz‐Raba, I, Compagnion, A, Lorente‐Picón, M

“…The Winter School focused on a rising field of research, the interactions between the nervous and both innate and adaptive immune systems under pathological and physiological conditions. A fine‐tuned neuro‐immune crosstalk is fundamental for healthy development, while disrupted neuro‐immune communication might play a role in neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and aging. …”

Extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy using an ultrashort pulse laboratory-scale laser-plasma accelerator by Kettle, B, Colgan, C, Los, EE, Gerstmayr, E, Streeter, MJV, Albert, F, Astbury, S, Baggott, RA, Cavanagh, N, Falk, K, Hyde, TI, Lundh, O, Rajeev, PP, Riley, D, Rose, SJ, Sarri, G, Spindloe, C, Svendsen, K, Symes, DR, Šmíd, M, Thomas, AGR, Thornton, C, Watt, R, Mangles, SPD

“…Here the Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) features of the K-edge of a copper sample have been observed over a 250 eV window in a single shot using a laser wakefield accelerator, providing information on both the electronic and ionic structure simultaneously. …”

Free3D: consistent novel view synthesis without 3D representation by Zheng, C, Vedaldi, A

“…Similar to Zero-1-to-3, we start from a pre-trained 2D image generator for generalization, and fine-tune it for NVS. Compared to other works that took a similar approach, we obtain significant improvements without resorting to an explicit 3D representation, which is slow and memory-consuming, and without training an additional network for 3D reconstruction. …”

PDMS-coated porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes for efficient recovery of dissolved biomethane from anaerobic effluents by Sethunga, Godakooru Sethunga Mudiyanselage Dilhara Prebhashwari, Karahan, Huseyin Enis, Wang, Rong, Bae, Tae-Hyun

“…The adjustment of the concentration of PDMS precursor mix could effectively serve for tuning the performance characteristics of MC membranes and helped suppress membrane wetting, a major performance-reducing factor. Despite their denser skin layers, the lumen-modified membranes demonstrated superior dCH4 recovery flux. …”

Dissecting the structure-compaction-performance relationship of thin-film composite polyamide membranes with different structure features by Zhao, Yali, Lai, Gwo Sung, Chong, Jeng Yi, Wang, Rong

“…On the other hand, the TFC membrane with a PA layer of low protuberances formed atop a loose substrate showed a greater decrease (∼18.5%) in water permeability. The densified skin layer and collapsed macro-voids within the loose substrate resulted in a ∼40% decrease in the overall height of the PA layer and a 65% decline in substrate surface porosity, respectively, which are identified as the reasons for the reducing water permeability. …”

Fabrication of organic solvent nanofiltration membranes with graphene oxide - enhanced covalent organic framework via interfacial polymerization by Oor, Jia Zheng, Ong, Chi Siang, Tan, Yong Zen, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Unfortunately, the common thin film composite (TFC) - based organic solvent nanofiltration membranes often give low solvent permeance due to the dense skin layer atop the substrate. To address this, we fabricated a covalent organic framework (COF) - incorporated TFC membrane through the in-situ formation of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxaldehyde (TFB) and graphene oxide (GO) in p-Cymene, a less toxic solvent, with p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) in aqueous phase via interfacial polymerization. …”
