Hyperbranched polyester amide/polyethersulphone mixed matrix nanofiltration membranes for contaminant rejection.

Nanofiltration (NF) separation technology is a low-pressure filtration process, which is highly efficient and environmentally friendly. As a result, it has found wide application in water treatment. This work describes the preparation of flat sheet membranes the phase inversion method using blends of hyperbranched polyester amide (PEA) and polyether sulphone (PES) in definite ratios.

Advances in active targeting of ligand-directed polymeric nanomicelles exploiting overexpressed cellular receptors for precise nanomedicine.

Many of the utilized drugs which already exist in the pharmaceutical sector are hydrophobic in nature. These drugs are characterized by being poorly absorbed and difficult to formulate in aqueous environments with low bioavailability, which could result in consuming high and frequent doses in order to fulfil the required therapeutic effect. As a result, there is a decisive demand to find modern alternatives to overcome all these drawbacks.
