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. …”

A tight polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane fabricated via polyion complex assisted phase inversion for dye desalination by Zhao, Yali, Liao, Yuan, Lai, Gwo Sung, Yin, Yurong, Wang, Rong

“…Morphology, chemical composition, surface charges and pore size analysis characterized via SEM, FTIR, XPS, Zeta potential and Dextran filtration experiment, respectively, testified that a nonporous skin layer comprising of polyion complex and enriched SPSF was successfully constructed on the top of the PES matrix with an effective pore radius of 1.44 nm, which is smaller than that of the reference membrane prepared without using polyion complex assisted phase inversion (2.74 nm). …”

A systematic analysis of the contribution of genetics to multimorbidity and comparisons with primary care data by Murrin, O, Mounier, N, Voller, B, Tata, L, Gallego-Moll, C, Roso-Llorach, A, Carrasco-Ribelles, LA, Fox, C, Allan, LM, Woodward, RM, Liang, X, Valderas, JM, Khalid, S, Dudbridge, F, Lamb, SE, Mancini, M, Farmer, L, Boddy, K, Bowden, J, Melzer, D, Frayling, TM, Masoli, JAH, Pilling, LC, Violán, C, Delgado, J

“…Many across-domain pairs exhibited substantial shared genetics (e.g., iron deficiency anaemia and peripheral arterial disease: genetic correlation 𝑅𝑔 = 0.45 [95% Confidence Intervals 0.27:0.64]). 33 pairs displayed negative genetic correlations, such as skin cancer and rheumatoid arthritis (𝑅𝑔 = −0.14 [−0.21:−0.06]), due to potential adverse drug effects. …”
