Sentence examples for membrane surface hydrophilicity from inspiring English sources

The PDA coating significantly improved membrane surface hydrophilicity as well as reduced membrane surface roughness.

An increase in membrane surface hydrophilicity was observed at all PDA deposition conditions, which tends to reduce foulant adhesion and increase threshold flux.

The results suggest that, under conditions in this study, designing membranes with a high zeta potential and certain roughness can significantly mitigate membrane fouling, whereas, the strategy of improving membrane surface hydrophilicity cannot alleviate sludge adhesion in the membrane bioreactor.

Rana et al. (2011) added 0.25 wt% of silver salt into aqueous MPD phase to improve membrane surface hydrophilicity and achieve better anti-biofouling property.

With the increase in the phospholipid moieties content at the modified membrane surface, the hydrophilicity and biocompatibility on the basis of water contact angle and macrophage adhesion can be improved significantly.

Chlorotrimethylsilane (CTMS) are grafted on the nano-structured membranes to achieve the membrane surface hydrophobicity and oleophilicity, while perfluorinated surfactants (f-PEG) are grafted on the membranes to achieve the surface hydrophilicity and oleophobicity.

Membrane properties, including surface hydrophilicity, roughness, and zeta potential, were characterized.

Optimal performance was observed for PES membrane containing 4 wt% TiO2, where TiO2 not only provided the enzyme coupling sites but also affected the membrane surface morphology and hydrophilicity to favor the enzyme immobilization.

Since PAA is hydrophilic in nature (Carroll et al. 2002), the deposition of the same on membrane surface enhanced membrane hydrophilicity as indicated by contact angle value.

The Li-ion battery using the PE-g-GMA membrane separator showed a better cycle life than that of the unmodified PE membrane separator, indicating that the surface hydrophilicity of the PE membrane separator improved the electrolyte holding capability between the electrodes in the Li-ion cell and prevented the electrolyte leakage.

With such coatings, membrane surface properties such as hydrophilicity, roughness and charge were modified to give improved resistance to fouling.
