TL;DR: A review of nonsolvent induced phase separation membrane preparation and characterization for many commonly used membrane polymers is presented in this article, which includes membrane porosity and pore size distribution characterization, membrane physical and chemical properties characterization, and thermodynamic and kinetic evaluation of phase inversion process.

TL;DR: These simple, but systematic studies--enabled by high-throughput screening--reveal the inherent complexity associated with understanding silver nanoparticle antibacterial efficacy as well as potential environmental impacts of silver nanoparticles.

TL;DR: High-throughput screening was used to elucidate ZnO nanoparticle stability, bioavailability, and antibacterial mechanisms as a function of iron doping level, aquatic chemistry, and bacterial cell type, and results underscore the complexities and challenges regulators face in assessing potential environmental impacts of nanotechnology.

TL;DR: It is clear that nanotechnology can produce more effective bactericides; however, the challenge remains to identify practical ways to take advantage of these exciting new material properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a clean and simple wet chemical process using dilute aqueous ozone (O3) solution with or without ultrasound (US) was used to functionalize single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs).
