Graphene Nanocomposite

This review presents state-of-the-art progress in the field of polystyrene (PS)/graphene nanocomposite. Graphene is a monoatomic thick nanoallotrope of carbon. It has attracted tremendous research consideration owing to chemical functionalization aptitude and remarkable physical properties. Graphene has been used as a potential nanofiller to dramatically improve the performance of polymeric nanocomposite. PS is an important synthetic aromatic thermoplastic polymer. Graphene has been used to enhance the mechanical strength, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of PS/graphene nanocomposite. Dispersion routes and synthetic methods of graphene and PS/graphene nanocomposite have also been reviewed. PS/graphene nanocomposites have been explored for anticorrosion, electromagnetic interference shielding, batteries, electrocatalysis, and microextraction applications. In spite of interesting developments, a lot remains to be done with regard to fundamental understanding of structure–property relationship and designing materials to operate for advanced high performance applications. This review is also concluded listing current challenges associated with processing and future perspectives of nanocomposite.

Polyamide Membranes

Escalating global water scarcity necessitates high-performance desalination membranes, for which fundamental understanding of structure–property–performance relationships is required. In this study, we comprehensively assess the ionization behavior of nanoporous polyamide selective layers in state-of-the-art nanofiltration (NF) membranes. In these films, residual carboxylic acids and amines influence permeability and selectivity by imparting hydrophilicity and ionizable moieties that can exclude coions. We utilize layered interfacial polymerization to prepare physically and chemically similar selective layers of controlled thickness. We then demonstrate location-dependent ionization of carboxyl groups in NF polyamide films. Specifically, only surface carboxyl groups ionize under neutral pH, whereas interior carboxyl ionization requires pH >9. Conversely, amine ionization behaves invariably across the film. First-principles simulations reveal that the low permittivity of nanoconfined water drives the anomalous carboxyl ionization behavior. Furthermore, we report that interior carboxyl ionization could improve the water–salt permselectivity of NF membranes over fourfold, suggesting that interior charge density could be an important tool to enhance the selectivity of polyamide membranes. Our findings highlight the influence of nanoconfinement on membrane transport properties and provide enhanced fundamental understanding of ionization that could enable novel membrane design.
