Membrane technologies have found a significant application in separation processes in an exceeding range of industrial fields. The crucial part that is decided regarding the efficiency and effectivity of separation is the type of membrane. The membranes deal with separation problems, working under the various mechanisms of transportation of selected species. This review compares significant types of entrapped matter (ions, compounds, and particles) within membrane technology. The ion-exchange membranes, molecularly imprinted membranes, smart membranes, and adsorptive membranes are investigated. Here, we focus on the selective separation through the above types of membranes and detect their preparation methods. Firstly, the explanation of transportation and preparation of each type of membrane evaluated is provided. Next, the working and application phenomena are evaluated. Finally, the review discusses the membrane modification methods and briefly provides differences in the properties that occurred depending on the type of materials used and the modification protocol.

AbstractCurrent mainstream memory technologies are unlikely to completely fulfill the solid state data storage requirements that will be imposed beyond the 32 nm node of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors. One potential replacement technology is resistance change memory based on solid electrolytes and a number of significant research and development efforts are already underway. The lowering of the resistance is attained by the reduction of ions in a relatively high resistivity electrolyte to form a conducting bridge between the electrodes. The resistance is returned to the high value via the application of a reverse bias that results in the breaking of the conducting pathway. Germanium chalcogenides and Ag-Ge-S ternaries in particular possess good thermal processing characteristics while maintaining the necessary high ion mobility for rapid switching. Thermally diffused copper in deposited SiO2 also is of interest, as thermal stability in excess of 600°C and commonly used constituents makes this material system compatible with the widest range of back-end-of-line processes. This paper details some of the developments in the understanding of the materials used in solid electrolyte resistance change devices and presents a short review of the electrical characteristics of devices based on Ag-Ge-S and Cu-Si-O electrolytes.

Polymeric membrane technology is a constantly developing field in both the research and industrial sector, with many applications considered nowadays as mature such as desalination, wastewater treatment, and hemodialysis. A variety of polymers have been used for the development of porous membranes by implementing numerous approaches such as phase inversion, electrospinning, sintering, melt-spinning and cold-stretching, 3D printing, and others. Depending on the application, certain polymer characteristics such as solubility to non-toxic solvents, mechanical and thermal stability, non-toxicity, resistance to solvents, and separation capabilities are highly desired. Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a polymer that combines the above-mentioned properties with great film forming capabilities, good chemical and mechanical stability, and tuned hydrophilicity, rendering it a prominent candidate for membrane preparation since the 1970s. Since then, great progress has been made both in preparation methods and possible unique applications. In this review, the main preparation methods and applications of porous PVA based membranes, along with introductory material are presented.

Molecularly imprinted polymers could selectively adsorb the target analytes from complex matrix. Chinese medicinal herbs had the characteristics of multi-component contents and complicated matrix. Molecularly imprinted polymers were very suitable for the selective extraction and purification of effective components in Chinese medicinal herbs. In this paper, the preparation methods of quercetin molecularly imprinted polymers and its applications in the separation and analysis of Chinese medicinal herbs were comprehensively reported. It would be a good reference for the selective separation and purification of quercetin in Chinese medicinal herbs.

Abstract For microscopic examination, 22 pottery fragments from sites 11, 15 and 20 in Święte, Jarosław District were selected. The pottery types included beakers (N=19) and amphorae (N=3). The goal of the petrographic analysis was to identify mineralogical composition of ceramic fabric, sources of raw materials, and intentional additives to the clay. The analysis yielded data that helped determine ceramic fabrics types and preparation methods, as well as pottery firing conditions and approximate firing temperature. In all samples analysed, ceramic fabrics were prepared in a similar way, using heavy clay poor in muscovite, with grog deliberately added. Crystalline material present in some of the samples is most likely a natural component of raw materials used in the production process. No sand is added to the clay. No other method for preparing pastes was identified for the amphorae type. Previous observations on amphorae firing are confirmed: amphorae are fired in oxidizing conditions. The ceramic fabrics of two vessels have a deliberate admixture of bones in addition to grog and argillaceous rock intraclasts. Vessels decorated with cord impressions and vessels with herringbone or other incised patterns are more often made from paste type A (inclusion and grog) and paste type B (grog), respectively.

With the high demand of using nanotechnology, nanocellulose has become popular for different biomedical and anticancer applications. Cellulose, a nature gifted material and the most abundant organic polymer on earth, is systematically reviewed. Details of the mechanical and chemical structure of nanocellulose are explained, starting with preparation methods along with physiochemical properties and pH gradient to incorporate innovative polymeric drug delivery vehicles in anticancer applications. A myriad of research fields has introduced nanocellulose as an intriguing candidate for anticancer drug excipient and carrier in modern cancer therapy. Albeit, innovative nanocellulose-based drug carrier systems will be complicated for their commercial use in pharmacies. Of this, it is required to understand the preparation, properties, and potential drug conjugation of nanocellulose to improve its interactions with human tissues.
