Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes commonly adopt a thin film composite
(TFC) structure featuring a polyamide rejection layer formed on a porous substrate. Recent …

Membrane technologies have been widely applied in water treatment over the past few
decades. However, membrane fouling remains a hinderance for the widespread use of …

Centrifugal microfluidics has evolved into a sophisticated technology capable of enabling
the exploration of fundamental questions in such fields as protein analysis, environmental …

Interfacial polymerization is a well-known process to synthesize separation layers for thin
film composite membranes at an immiscible organic liquid–aqueous liquid interface. The …

Membrane fouling can cause severe flux drops and affect the quality of produced water,
which is a major obstacle for membrane applications. Great efforts have been made to …

Abstract 3D printed nanofiltration (NF) composite membranes with surface patterns
minimising the impact of concentration polarisation (CP) are presented here for the first time …

Widespread application of the nanofiltration (NF) technique in wastewater reuse is still
hindered by the NF membrane's fouling propensity and rejection efficiency. This study …

Surface patterning of membranes has emerged as a nonchemical approach to improving the
performance of water separation and ion exchange membranes. These patterns reduce the …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted tremendous interest in preparing a thin-
film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane. Especially, the membrane performance could be …

In the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair pathways, DNA repair enzymes have great
significance for genomic integrity. As one important initiator of the base-excision repair …
