Ultra-permeable intercalated metal-induced microporous polymer nano-dots rooted smart membrane for environmental remediation

Melanin Treatment Effect of Vacuoles-Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Combined with Ascorbic Acid

“…Therefore, the encapsulation approach of ZnAA with vacuoles could provide a safer and more robust agent for melanin degradation. According to recent studies, the use of biological compounds for the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles has shown promising results such as cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to the conventional nanoparticles synthesis pathway [ 47 – 50 ]. Previously, it was reported that a combination of tyrosine, zinc and vitamin C has been shown to increase the bioavailability of vitamin C 20-times vis-a-vis using just vitamin C [ 51 ].…”

Covalent and non-covalent approaches to suppress plasticization of polymer membranes for gas separation

“…As a result, the CO 2 permeability increases from 14.1 to 108.9 Barrer, the CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity rises from 11.8 to 31.1, and the plasticization pressure reaches 26 bar, indicating improved plasticization resistance. 70 As shown in Fig. 8(a), a metal-polymer complex has been designed that includes transition metal ions such as Co, Ni, and Zn in a PI matrix, with coordination interactions observed between the ions and the benzimidazole moieties of PI.…”

Recent developments in polysaccharide and lignin-based (nano)materials for CO2 capture

“…In a cellulose-based polymer matrix, Ali et al assessed the possible intercalated effects of metal-induced microporous polymer (MMP) dots. 246 Under both dry and humid conditions, the CO 2 separation efficiency and plasticization pressure of MMP-intercalated smart membranes were assessed. According to the gas permeation measurements, adding MMP nanodots to cellulose polymer increased CO 2 permeability from 14.1 to 108.9 Barrer.…”
