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. …”

Partial grounding, identity, and nothing-over-and-aboveness by Werner, Jonas

“…It will turn out that the related question whether partial grounding and nothing-over-and-aboveness yield full grounding pertains to considerations concerning how finely factual content is individuated. The relationship between non-augmented partial grounding and nothing-over-and-aboveness crucially depends on whether one works with a representational or a worldly notion of grounding and how coarsely grained one takes worldly grounds to be.…”
