TL;DR: In this article, the effect of room temperature ionic liquid on the microstructure, properties and performance of elastomeric block co-polyamide membranes was discussed, based on the 1- n -alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cation.

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation and extensive characterization of polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) hollow fiber membranes (HFM) was carried out, where the membranes were prepared via the dry wet spinning method with three different concentrations of PPSU (22.5%, 25% and 27.5% W/W) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as the dope solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical aging of dense PIM-1 films with different previous histories was monitored for more than 4 years via parallel gas sorption and permeability measurements, and the effect of aging on the individual transport parameters, permeability, solubility and diffusivity, was studied on alcohol treated membranes with high excess free volume.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that crossed HF membrane bioreactor is able to support the maintenance of primary human hepatocytes preserving their liver specific functions for all investigated period and may be a potential tool in the liver tissue engineering for drug metabolism/toxicity testing and study of disease pathogenesis alternatively to animal experimentation.

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of nanofiltration flat sheet membranes based on polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) was investigated and the performance of the prepared membranes has been tested by the measure of methanol permeability and the rejection of a dissolved dye (Rose Bengal).
