The inherent hydrophilicity of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) makes it an attractive polymer for
water treatment applications based on membranes. Thermal and chemical resistance and a …

Biofilm research has grown exponentially over the last decades, arguably due to their
contribution to hospital acquired infections when they form on foreign body surfaces such as …

Hydrogel electrolytes (HGEs) with good sensitivity, high conductivity, high transparency,
excellent flexibility, and self-healing ability have become a research hotspot in wearable …

Borax-PVA hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties are prepared by simple physical
mixing of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, thickener) and borax (cross-linking agent) at room …

Membrane structure design is critical for the development of high-performance hemodialysis
membranes. Here, a thin-film nanofibrous composite (TFNC) membrane, consisting of a two …

We report the synthesis of a novel bulk hydrogel based on acrylamidoglycolic acid (AAGA)
and its use as a template in the preparation of different metal nanoparticles. Furthermore, we …

OBJECTIVE: Watertight dural repairs are difficult to achieve, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage
causes complications and extends hospital stays. Therefore, a novel synthetic hydrogel film …

Injectable hydrogels were prepared from chitosan derivative (EGAMA-CS)/polyethylene
glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDA)/N, N-dimethylacrylamide (DMMA) by photopolymerization …

This performance study deals with isoporous ultrafiltration membranes made through a
combination of self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers and the non-solvent induced …

A comprehensive study of the separation performance of highly porous self-assembled
integral asymmetric block copolymer membranes was carried out. Four different polystyrene …
