Dopamine-based materials have attracted widespread interest due to the outstanding
physicochemical and biological properties. Since the first report on polydopamine (PDA) …

Poor interfacial compatibility is the main factor restricting the improvement of mechanical
properties of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) composites. In this paper, we …

It is of practical significance to develop a heparin-free hemodialysis membrane that can be
used for clinical applications in a simple way. In this work, a heparin-like coating loaded with …

The demand for fresh drinking water is sky rocketing with the world's increasing population,
urbanization and various industrial growth. However, toxic heavy metals and metalloids like …

In this current study, poly (methyl vinyl ether maleic anhydride)(PMVEAMA), a sustainable
additive, was incorporated into poly (ether-ether sulfone)(PEES) polymer to design a novel …

Polydopamine (PDA) is a good adhesion agent for lots of gels inspired by the mussel,
whereas hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) usually exhibit extraordinary …

In this study, a novel approach was employed to address the persistent challenge of
biofouling in membrane-based separation processes. The method involved enhancing the …

Polyethersulfone (PES) films are widely employed in the construction of membranes where
there is a desire to make the surface more hydrophilic. Therefore, UV photo-oxidation was …

Membrane filtration is an attractive process in water and wastewater treatment, but largely
restricted by membrane fouling. In this study, the membrane fouling issue is addressed by …
