Electrospinning of low density PCL fibers on SLS scaffold by Leong, Yew Meng.

“…In this study, PCL fibers were spun on a spinning mandrel collector and investigated to examine the effects of electrospinning parameters- acceleration voltage and feed rate on fiber diameter. Hence both small (0.5-1um) and large (8-10um) fibers were attempted to be spun by varying acceleration voltage and feed rate. …”

Alternative solution for pre-treatment of seawater for the desalination process by Goh, Qing Kai

“…Experiments conducted showed that the rejection of both salt and TOCs of NF membranes were much better than the UF membranes and displayed better flux performance during a continuous operation using seawater as feed. The average salt rejection of NF membrane was 3.99% at 2.5 bar while that of UF membrane was only at 0.42%. …”
