Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…In the first study, poly(amic acid) with sulfone groups complexed with chromium and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), labelled as PAAS-Cr-CNT, was synthesized and shown to be effective in increasing the interaction and interfacial bonding between poly(amic acid) and CNTs compared with traditional non-covalent functionalization, as evidenced by FE-SEM and mechanical testing. The modulus of the composite film increased by up to 35% with 2 wt% CNT loading, and its strength could still be maintained compared to the pure polyimide matrix. …”

Modelling and characterization of membrane fouling in osmotically-driven membrane processes (ODMPs) by Lai, Li

“…From qualitive analysis to quantitative analysis, the location of peak raised by colloidal deposition is used to differentiate the deposition on surface of active layer and inside of support layer after being analyzed by arrival time shift and confirmed by statistical testing. Moreover, the further short-time Fourier transformation (STFT) was applied to transfer the original time domain data into time-frequency domain, which reveal a noticeable magnitude reduction on high frequency components when Rayleigh scattering was triggered by particle inside of membrane pores. …”
