In this paper, we review various novel/modified interfacial polymerization (IP) techniques for
the fabrication of polyamide (PA) thin film composite (TFC)/thin film nanocomposite (TFN) …

Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes have been used for desalination for over 40 years. This
review focuses on the lab-scale synthesis of fully aromatic polyamide layers used to create …

Demand for a cost-effective and energy-efficient technology to supply fresh water from saline
water has led to the development of ultra-low-pressure RO (ULPRO). The ULPRO provides …

The increase demand on clean water accompanied with water shortage is now threatening
the ecosystem and human life, which is aggravated with the rising of heavy-metal-ion …

Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes require robust selective layers and support
materials. In this study, polyamide and polyester thin-film composites (TFCs) and covalent …

The goal of this study is to investigate the possibility of replacing the water bath heater and
pressure relief valve with a hybrid vortex tube-photovoltaic/thermal system in pressure …

Understanding the kinetics of the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction is one of the crucial
factors in tailoring the characteristics and performance of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes …

In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) derived from sawdust were successfully
incorporated into a thin film composite membrane made from polyamide. The characteristics …

To meet the demands of emerging electrification technologies, polymers that are capable of
withstanding high electric fields at high temperatures are needed. Given the staggeringly …

Gas-phase polymerization of propylene via 4th generation Ziegler-Natta (ZN) catalysts was
studied and optimized using intelligent data-based methods. The effect of co-catalyst …
