"Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) adalah material komposit yang terbuat dari polimer yang terisi dengan material pengisi. MMM digunakan secara luas dalam proses pemisahan gas, seperti memisahkan CO2 dari N2. Namun, MMM yang dimuat dengan padatan berpori diketahui memiliki trade-off permeabilitas-selektivitas, yang berarti, peningkatan permeabilitas gas pada membran menyebabkan selektivitas gas yang lebih rendah. Para peneliti menemukan cara untuk meningkatkan kinerja MMM. Tujuan dari proyek ini adalah untuk menyelidiki potensi kelebihan dari MMM berbasis poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA) dan polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) yang dimuat dengan cairan berpori dibandingkan dengan MMM yang dimuat padatan berpori dan membran murni. Aglomerasi MMM, permeabilitas CO2, dan selektivitas CO2/N2 diamati melalui uji karakterisasi menggunakan XRD, FTIR, dan TGA. Uji selektivitas dan permeabilitas dilakukan menggunakan welded gas rig. Lima bahan padat berpori (UiO-66-OH, phloroglucinol-based porous organic framework (POF), SNW-1, Aluminium Fumarate (AlFum) dan hollow silica (HS)) diimplementasikan untuk menjadi pengisi membran. Melalui uji karakterisasi (XRD, FTIR, TGA, SEM, DSC, BET, dan Pycnometer) dan pertimbangan model prediksi IAST, padatan berpori yang paling cocok dicairkan dan dimuat ke dalam membran. Hasillnya, MMM cair berpori mengalami pengurangan signifikan dalam aglomerasi, peningkatan permeabilitas CO2 dan peningkatan selektivitas CO2/N2 dibandingkan dengan membran murni dan MMM padat berpori. Temuan ini menegaskan keuntungan dari MMM cair berpori dalam pemisahan gas.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are composite materials made by embedding polymer with filler substances, and they are commonly used in gas separation processes, such as CO2 removal from N2. However, MMMs that contain porous solids typically exhibit a trade-off between permeability and selectivity, where increasing gas permeability reduces the membrane’s ability to selectively separate gases. To enhance the performance of MMMs, researchers are exploring different approaches. This project aims to examine the benefits of MMMs made from poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA) and polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1), which are loaded with porous liquids, compared to MMMs loaded with porous solids and neat membranes. The study evaluates membrane agglomeration, CO2 permeability, and CO2/N2 selectivity through characterization methods like XRD, FTIR, and TGA, along with performance testing using a welded gas rig. The fillers used in the membranes include five porous solid materials: UiO-66-OH, a phloroglucinol-based porous organic framework (POF), SNW-1, Aluminium Fumarate (AlFum), and hollow silica (HS). By conducting various tests (XRD, FTIR, TGA, SEM, DSC, BET, and pycnometer) and considering the IAST prediction model, the most suitable porous solid is then liquefied and incorporated into the membrane. The results show that the use of porous liquids in MMMs reduces agglomeration and significantly improves CO2 permeability and CO2/N2 selectivity compared to MMMs containing porous solids and neat membranes. These findings highlight the potential advantages of porous liquid MMMs for gas separation applications."

"Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have proven to be useful for a wide range of applications because of properties such as their light weight, toughness and temperature resistance. Advances in ceramic matrix composites summarises key advances and types of processing of CMCs.After an introductory chapter, the first part of the book reviews types and processing of CMCs, covering processing, properties and applications. Chapters discuss nanoceramic matric composites, silicon carbide-containing alumina nanocomposites and advances in manufacture by various infiltration techniques including heat treatments and spark plasma sintering. The second part of the book is dedicated to understanding the properties of CMCs with chapters on finite element analysis, tribology and wear and self-healing CMCs. The final part of the book examines the applications of CMCs, including those in the structural engineering, nuclear and fusion energy, turbine, metal cutting and microelectronics industries."

"This book provides a series of reports from the 1st International Conference on Model Hosts. This first of its kind meeting focused on invertebrate, vertebrate and amoeboid systems used for the study of host-pathogen interactions, virulence and immunity, as well as on the relevance of these pathogenesis systems and mammalian models. Importantly, a common, fundamental set of molecular mechanisms is employed by a significant number of microbial pathogens against a widely divergent array of metazoan hosts. Moreover, the evolutionarily conserved immune responses of these model hosts have contributed important insights to our understanding of the innate immune response of mammals."
