Article Synopsis
  • - Polyimides are promising materials for gas separation membranes due to their selective permeability and ability to operate under various temperatures and pressures, and current research is focusing on enhancing their performance through various fillers.
  • - Researchers tested butylcalix[n]arene macrocycles (PTBCs) with different sizes as fillers in a thermoplastic polyimide to create nanocomposite membranes, using concentrations from 1-9 wt%.
  • - The study involved preparation of films through a pre-mixing and solvent casting process, followed by characterization of their properties and gas transport, showing that the addition of these nanoporous fillers improved molecular transport efficiency.

This article displays an efficient and cost effective technique for the removal of unleaded gasoline from water. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as the sorbent material. Nanotubes were synthesized according to a well-known procedure and successfully used avoiding cumbersome purifications from traces of catalyst.
