Anti-fouling thin film composite (TFC) polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes based on piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) substrates by Fu, Jia Shen

“…The fouling tests clearly demonstrated that RO membranes based on both unpoled and poled PVDF-TEP-NWF substrates exhibited fouling mitigation behavior when electric signal was applied. The findings of this study would provide the method of using hydrophobic PVDF membrane as substrate for RO membrane fabrication and come up with an innovative way to mitigate RO membrane fouling.…”

International relations and foreign policy by Chryssogelos, Angelos

“…As a result, the literature on the international relations of populism–whether of the ‘outside-in’dynamic of international developments fostering populism at the national level or the ‘inside-out’process of populist foreign policy–is one of the fastest-growing areas of the populism literature today. This chapter offers an overview of this field in two parts.…”
