Article Synopsis
- - Low-molecular-weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is added to swellable poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) membranes to enhance their performance in CO2 separation.
- - The modified membranes show increased CO2 permeability and CO2/H2 selectivity due to their improved microstructure and higher fractional free volume.
- - This research aims to advance the development of effective polymer membranes for clean energy applications, potentially bridging the gap between academic research and industrial use.
The model of rough wetting for hydrophobic steel meshes that mimic Asparagus setaceus leaf.
J Colloid Interface Sci
February 2011
A comprehensive analytical model is proposed to provide a relationship between the macroscopic roughness and contact angle, which is used to develop macroscopic rough surface and to create biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces. Using chemical surface modification of steel wires, an artificial hydrophobic surface was prepared. A steel mesh mimicking the Asparagus setaceus leaf was created by lowing the surface energy and enhancing macroscopic surface roughness.
