Membranes with Embedded Nanotubes For Selective Permeability

Membranes for filtration by size exclusion are formed from open-ended nanotubes embedded in a polymeric matrix. The matrix forms a layer whose thickness is substantially less than the average length of the nanotubes, allowing the nanotubes to be randomly oriented throughout the matrix while providing channels extending through the layer for the selective passage of molecular species or particles based on size.

Size-selective hemoperfusion polymeric adsorbents

Size-selective hemocompatible porous polymeric adsorbents are provided with a pore structure capable of excluding molecules larger than 50,000 Daltons, but with a pore system that allows good ingress and egress of molecules smaller than 35,000 Daltons. The pore system in these porous polymeric adsorbents is controlled by the method of synthesis so that 98% of the total pore volume is located in pores smaller than 300 Angstroms (Å) in diameter with a working pore size range within 100 to 300 Å in diameter. The porous polymeric adsorbents of this invention are very selective for extracting midsize proteins, such as cytokines and β2-microglobulin, from blood and other physiologic fluids while keeping the components required for good health such as cells, platelets, albumin, hemoglobin, fibrinogen, and other serum proteins intact.

Bottom fluorescence illumination assembly for an imaging apparatus

A macroscopic fluorescence illumination assembly is provided for use with an imaging apparatus with a light-tight imaging compartment. The imaging apparatus includes an interior wall defining a view port extending into the imaging compartment to enable viewing of a specimen contained therein. The illumination assembly includes a specimen support surface sized and dimensioned for receipt in the imaging compartment, and oriented to face toward the view port of the imaging apparatus. The support surface is substantially opaque and defines a window portion that enables the passage of light there through. The window portion is selectively sized and dimensioned such that the specimen, when supported atop the support surface, can be positioned and seated over the window portion in a manner forming a light-tight seal substantially there between. The illumination assembly further includes an excitation light source, and a bundle of fiber optic strands having proximal ends thereof in optical communication with the light source. The distal ends of the strands terminate proximate the window portion of the support surface. The distal ends each emit a respective beam of light originating from the light source which are then collectively directed toward the window portion and into a bottom side of the specimen wherein the diffused light passes there through and exits a topside thereof for receipt through the view port to view the fluorescence of the specimen.

Preparation method for mesoporous compound film

ActiveCN106731886AMesopore size is continuously adjustableUnique mesopore sizeSemi-permeable membranesOther chemical processesPolyethylene oxideUltrafiltration
The invention provides a preparation method for a mesoporous compound film. The method comprises the following steps: triggering the alcoholysis reaction of a precursor compound and a structure-directing agent in ethyl alcohol, thereby obtaining a sol; performing surface treatment on a porous film and soaking in the sol; airing the soaked porous film under a room temperature condition and completing a sol-gelling process; cleaning and drying, thereby obtaining the mesoporous compound film. According to the invention, a polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide triblock copolymer, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide or lauryl sodium sulfate is taken as the structure-directing agent, so that the mesoporous size of the prepared mesoporous compound film can be continuously adjusted. The mesoporous compound film prepared according to the invention has a unique mesoporous structure; due to the organic solvent resistance and special porous structure or the capability of further modifying the mesoporous of the compound film, the mesoporous compound film can be applied to the separating purification fields of selective molecule transferring in the solution, the size selective ion transferring and ultrafiltration on a separating and liquid / liquid interface, and the like; the preparation process is simple; the method is environment-friendly.

Redox-Flow Batteries Employing Oligomeric Organic Active Materials and Size-Selective Microporous Polymer Membranes

Intermittent energy sources, including solar and wind, require scalable, low-cost, multi-hour energy storage solutions to be effectively incorporated into the grid. Redox-flow batteries offer a solution, but suffer from rapid capacity fade and low Coulombic efficiency due to the high permeability of redox-active species across the battery's membrane. Here we show that active-species crossover can be arrested by scaling the membrane's pore size to molecular dimensions and in turn increasing the size of the active material to be above the membrane's pore-size exclusion limit. When oligomeric redox-active organic molecules were paired with microporous polymer membranes, the rate of active-material crossover was either completely blocked or slowed more than 9,000-fold compared to traditional separators at minimal cost to ionic conductivity. In the case of the latter, this corresponds to an absolute rate of ROM crossover of less than 3 μmol cm−2 day−1 (for a 1.0 M concentration gradient), which exceeds performance targets recently set forth by the battery industry. This strategy was generalizable to both high and low-potential ROMs in a variety of electrolytes, highlighting the importance of macromolecular design in implementing next-generation redox-flow batteries.

Universal physiologic sampling pump (PSP) capable of rapid response to breathing

The present invention discloses a physiologic sampling pump (PSP) which uses at least one valve placed near the sampling medium to modulate air sampling to follow a person's inhalation rate and to obviate the sluggishness inherent in prior art PSPs caused by varying pump speed and by the propagation time through an air tube that connects the collection medium to prior art pumps thereby also obviating limitations inherent in system response, functionality, and accuracy. Moreover, by maintaining an essentially constant air flow through a cyclone at all times and through the collection medium while sampling, the present invention operates at known collection efficiencies, and is therefore capable of size-selective sampling of particulates as opposed to prior art PSPs that by varying the magnitude of air flow, make the separation efficiencies of pre-collection devices indeterminate and the samples worthless. When used instead with an impact sampling head, the present invention may collect total particulate as well, and may collect gases and vapors with a charcoal tube sampling head. Structural features associated with the physiological sampling pump for providing rapid response to breathing include an outer housing including a thereto-resistant case, multiple and interchangeable PSP sampling heads further including collection media and a valve(s) mounted on a valve manifold with associated tubing.
