New Membrane-Forming Aromatic Co-Poly(amide-imide)s: Influence of the Chemical Structure on the Morphological, Thermal and Transport Properties.

Polymer film membranes are used to solve specific separation problems that dictate structural requirements. Structural and morphological parameters of film membranes based on glassy polyheteroarylenes can be controlled in the process of preparation from solutions that opens up prospects for obtaining structured membranes required for targeted separation. In the case of aromatic poly(amide-imide)s, the possibility of controlling film formation and structure virtually has not been studied.

Smart colloids containing ensembles of gold nanoparticles conjugated with κ-carrageenan.

We study colloids of nanobiocomposites (NBC) containing Au nanoparticles (NP) obtained by reduction of gold precursor with functional groups of κCAR. The AuNPs content was changed from 2.0 to 5.
