In order to improve the permeate flux of photocatalytic membranes, we present an approach for coupling TiO2 with ceramic hollow fiber membranes. The ceramic hollow fiber membranes with high permeate flux were fabricated by a controlled wet-spinning process using polyethersulfone (PESf) and ceramic powder as precursors and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as solvent, and the subsequent TiO2 coating was performed by a dip-coating process using tetra-n-butyl titanate as precursor. It has been found that the PESf/ceramic powder ratio could influence the structure of the membranes. Here the as-prepared TiO2 hollow fiber membranes had a pure water flux of 4,450 L/(m2·h). The performance of the TiO2 hollow fiber membrane was evaluated using humic acid (HA) as a test substance. The results demonstrated that this membrane exhibited a higher permeate flux under UV irradiation than in the dark and the HA removal efficiency was enhanced. The approach described here provides an operable route to the development of high-permeable photocatalytic membranes for water treatment.

Deposition of highly textured ReBa2Cu3O7−δ (RBCO) films on metallic substrates requires a buffer layer to prevent chemical reactions, reduce lattice mismatch between metallic substrate and superconducting film layer, and to prevent diffusion of metal atoms into the superconductor film. Nickel tapes are bi-axially textured by cold rolling and annealing at appropriate temperature (RABiTS) for epitaxial growth of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) films. As buffer layers, several oxide thin films and then YBCO were coated on bi-axially textured nickel tapes by dip coating sol-gel process. Biaxially oriented NiO on the cube-textured nickel tape by a process named Surface-Oxidation- Epitaxy (SEO) has been introduced as an alternative buffer layer. in this work we have studied in situ growth of nickel oxide by ESEM and hot stage.Representative cold rolled nickel tape (99.999%) was annealed in an electric furnace under 4% hydrogen-96% argon gas mixture at 1050°C to get bi-axially textured nickel tape.

The synthesis of Ag-TiO2 coating using AgNO3 precursor is expected to give the properties as pure as Ag nanoparticles. Commonly, high concentration of Ag attributed to agglomeration of silver species and reduction to Ag0 particles on TiO2 surface. In contrast, at lower concentration, Ag species exist as AgO, Ag2O and Ag0. Hence, the exact amount of Ag, which can effectively control the particle growth and agglomeration, surface area, thermal stability and band gap of the TiO2 coating, are still vague and stated differently. In the present study, the effect of Ag content on the phase transformation and surface morphology of Ag-TiO2 coating were reported. TiO2 sol were prepared by incorporating Ag at 2.5, 5 and 7.5 mol % and deposited on unglazed ceramic tiles thru five times dip coating. The deposited Ag-TiO2 coatings were heat treated at 500 °C for 1 hour soaking time. XRD analyses revealed that the deposited Ag-TiO2 coating consists of anatase, rutile, Ag2O and metallic Ag. Almost all the coating surfaces illustrated cracks. Increased Ag content lead to presence of tiny particles on the surfaces and EDX spectrum revealed the presence of Ti, O and metallic Ag particles. However, at the addition of 5 mol % Ag, there was no metallic Ag presence and a dense coating with the lowest thickness of ±11.4µm is observed.

ABSTRACTMacroporous silicate thick films were prepared by a sol-gel dip-coating method accompanied by the phase separation using methyl-trimethoxysilane (MTMS), nitric acid and dimethylformamide (DMF) as starting components. The morphology of the film varied to a large extent depending on the time elapsed after the hydrolysis until the dipping of the coating solution. On a glass substrate, the films prepared by early dipping had inhomogeneous submicrometer-sized pores on the surface of the film. At increased reaction times, relatively narrow sized isolated macropores were observed and their size gradually decreased with the increase of reaction time. On a polyester substrate, in contrast, micrometer-sized isolated spherical gel domains were homogeneously deposited by earlier dippings. With an increase of reaction time, the volume fraction of the gel phase increased, then the morphology of the coating transformed into co-continuous gel domains and macropores, and finally inverted into the continuous gel domains with isolated macropores. The overall morphological variation with the reaction time was explained in terms of the phase separation and the structure freezing by the forced gelation, both of which were induced by the evaporation of methanol during the dipping operation.

Thin films of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared on pre-cleaned glass substrates by Dip Coating Method. FTIR spectrum was used to identify the functional groups present in the prepared films. The vibrational peaks observed at 1260 cm-1 and 851 cm-1 are assigned to C–C stretching and CH rocking of PVA.The characteristic band appearing at 1432 cm-1 is assigned to C–H bend of CH2 of PVA. The thickness of the prepared thin films were measured by using an electronic thickness measuring instrument (Tesatronic-TTD20) and cross checked by gravimetric method. XRD spectra indicated the amorphous nature of the films.Surface morphology of the coated films was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surface revealed no pits and pin holes on the surface. The observed surface morphology indicated that these films could be used as dielectric layer in organic thin film transistors and as drug delivery system for wound healing.

Selulosa bakterial mempunyai sifat mekanik yang baik untuk digunakan sebagai membran pada proses pengolahan air limbah tekstil. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pembuatan dan karakterisasi serat hollow dari bahan baku selulosa bakterial nata de coco dengan penambahan nanopartikel ZnO sebagai fotokatalis terimmobilisasi. Selulosa bakterial disintesis menggunakan bakteri Acetobacter xylinum di dalam medium air kelapa dan gula. Selulosa bakterial dilarutkan bersama dengan nanopartikel ZnO menggunakan pelarut cuprietilen diamina (Cuen) dengan variasi selulosa bakterial 2,25% dan 2,50%. Serat berbentuk hollow dihasilkan dari proses wet spinning menggunakan koagulan NaOH. Serat hollow yang telah melalui koagulan kemudian direndam dalam larutan asam, gliserol, dan alkohol, dengan variasi waktu perendaman asam selama 1 dan 2 hari. Uji kekuatan tarik menunjukkan hasil yang terbaik yakni sebesar 815,72 gf pada konsentrasi selulosa bakterial 2,50% dan perendaman asam selama 2 hari. Dari hasil uji gugus fungsi menggunakan spektroskopi Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), terdapat beberapa gugus fungsi yang menunjukkan keberadaan selulosa dan nanopartikel ZnO. Proses dekolorisasi fotokatalitik terhadap air limbah tekstil artifisial yang mengandung zat warna reaktif Remazol Black 5 (RB5) menunjukkan bahwa pH optimum proses penyisihan warna yakni pada pH 9 dan dihasilkan persen penyisihan warna yang tertinggi yaitu 90,32%. Pada kondisi yang sama, proses dekolorisasi RB5 menggunakan serat hollow tanpa nanopatikel ZnO hanya menghasilkan persen penyisihan warna sebesar 32,10%. Berdasarkan laju penyisihan zat warna, aktivitas degradasi fotokatalitik terbesar (k’ = 0,2615) diperoleh pada konsentrasi ZnO 10% dan konsentrasi zat warna RB5 10 ppm.

Serat kitosan mempunyai sifat getas, kekuatan yang rendah terutama dalam keadaan basah dan elongasisaat putus yang rendah disebabkan kristalin yang tinggi. Untuk dapat digunakan sebagai benang operasimonofilamen, diperlukan serat kitosan dengan diameter yang relatif kecil tetapi mempunyai kekuatan tarik yangtinggi disertai fleksibilitas dan elongasi yang baik sehingga mudah dibuat simpul. Proses dehidrasi dengan metanoltelah berhasil meningkatkan kekuatan dan menurunkan diameter tetapi elongasi menurun. Penelitian ini ditujukanuntuk meningkatkan sifat mekanik terutama elongasi serat kitosan dengan cara melakukan proses plastisisasidengan gliserol setelah proses dehidrasi dengan metanol . Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada serat kitosanyang dibuat dari larutan kitosan dengan viskositas 5.684 mPa.s dengan alat wet-spinning menggunakan spinneretdengan diameter 1500 μm, proses dehidrasi dengan metanol dilanjutkan dengan proses plastisisasi dengan gliserolmemberikan penurunan diameter 7 %, peningkatan densitas 46%, peningkatan kekuatan tarik 90%, danpeningkatan elongasi 167 %. Dengan proses plastisisasi serat kitosan menjadi lebih hidrofil, densitas dan %kristalinitas naik sehingga serat lebih padat merata dan memberikan peningkatan elongasi yang signifikan.
