Protective textiles have been the primary choice in protecting humans from hazardous substances. Conventional protective textiles are shifting towards a smart and sustainable alliance. Nanomaterials are emerging materials that can be incorporated into traditional fabrics for the development of advanced smart and sustainable protective textiles due to their enhanced mechanical/chemical properties, high catalytic and disinfection… Continue reading Nanomaterial-based smart and sustainable protective textiles
This research aimed at synthesizing polyethersulfone/α-zirconium phosphate (PES/ α-ZrP) flat-sheet nanocomposite ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. The impact of α-ZrP nanoparticle (NP) addition on the morphology, functionalities, hydrophilicity, and surface charge of the membrane, among others, were investigated. Different concentrations of α-ZrP NPs (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 wt.%) were tested. Membranes surface morphology was investigated by… Continue reading Development of Polyethersulfone/α-Zirconium phosphate (PES/α-ZrP) flat-sheet nanocomposite ultrafiltration membranes
