Performance enhancement of ultrafiltration membrane via simple deposition of polymer-based modifiers by Tian, Miao, Wang, Rong, Goto, Atsushi, Mao, Weijia, Miyoshi, Yasuyuki, Mizoguchi, Hirotaka

“…In this work, a group of synthesized hydrophilic random copolymers and homopolymer were utilized to enhance PES UF membrane performance by a simple deposition of a thin layer. Despite the increased intrinsic resistance as a result of the thin modification layer, higher pure water permeability and recovery rate were observed for the modified Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane during Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) fouling test in comparison to the virgin membrane. …”

In-plane surface wave in a classical elastic half-space covered by a surface layer with microstructure by Fan, Hui, Long, Jianmin

“…Anal. 57:291–323, 1975), we are particularly interested in the case that the surface layer is very thin. Therefore, as our second step, by employing the Kirchhoff thin plate model, we establish the surface elasticity model considering couple stresses and derive the isotropic surface elasticity solution of the present problem. …”

On convection driven by surface tension caused by transient heat conduction by Tan, Ka Kheng, Thorpe, Rex B.

“…The onset of convection caused by surface tension (ST) during transient cooling of a thin layer of liquid is investigated. This study shows that it can be predicted by a newly defined transient Marangoni number Ma, which incorporates the mode and rate of cooling, where a non-linear temperature profile develops continuously until instability sets in. …”
