Organic emerging contaminants (OECs) or contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are molecules that were previously unaccounted for in term of water quality standards and are known now to have adverse ecological and human ...

In this study, the transport properties of poly(styrene-isobutylene-styrene) (SIBS) block copolymer were determined as a function of sulfonation level (0-94.9 %), counter ion substitution (Ba+2, Ca+2, Mg+2, Mn+2, Cu+2, ...

This investigation studied the morphology, hydration, and transport properties of different membranes for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. First, sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membranes were ...

This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of block copolymers membranes with multi-ionic domains to analyze the effect of the morphological and chemical changes on the transport properties for their use in ...

Ionic domains were incorporate into sulfonated poly(styrene–isobutylene–styrene) (SO3H SIBS) in an effort to improve the transport properties of the functionalized aromatic block copolymer. The resulting polymer nanocomposite ...

Magnetically actuated nanovectors are prepared through the combination of magnetic nanoparticles and thermoresponsive materials that facilitate the release of the drug when heated at a temperature slightly above the normal ...
