Membrane-based water treatment processes have been established as a powerful
approach for clean water production. However, despite the significant advances made in …

Dewatering constitutes a major drawback in terms of cost and energy required to
concentrate a highly diluted microalgal culture. This has hampered the economic viability of …

Zwitterionic materials are well known to possess extraordinary water affinity. However,
micromolecular zwitterions have rarely been exploited for membrane hydrophilic …

Membrane technology has emerged as a possible solution to the challenge of biomass
recovery facing microalgal industry. However, fouling phenomenon hinders the …

Dewatering is energy-intensive for microalgae production, and microfiltration (MF)
membranes are attractive because of their high energy efficiency. However, the membranes …

Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets are negatively charged and exhibit excellent antifouling
properties. However, their hydrophilicity makes it challenging for their grafting onto …

In this work, several ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with enhanced antifouling properties
were fabricated using a rapid and green surface modification method that was based on the …

Polydopamine coating is a unique, simple, and substrate‐independent surface
functionalization strategy. Techniques for secondary functionalization, patterning, and re …

Achieving a balanced strength-toughness in polymer composites is a challenge largely
because of poor interfacial interaction between the fillers and matrix. Here, we report that …

The interactions of NaCl with flotation frothers (ie, weak surfactants) were investigated in the
production of microbubbles at low frother concentrations far below their critical micelle …
