Bridging the Bio-Electronic Interface with Biofabrication

17.3K
This article describes a biofabrication approach: deposition of stimuli-responsive polysaccharides in the presence of biased electrodes to create biocompatible films which can be functionalized with cells or proteins. We demonstrate a bench-top strategy for the generation of the films as well as their basic uses for creating interactive biofunctionalized surfaces for lab-on-a-chip...

Additives and Fillers in Concrete

337
Additives and fillers are integral to enhancing the properties of concrete. Pozzolans and blast-furnace slag are additives or admixtures due to their reactions with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration. Fillers, which are finely ground and similar in fineness to Portland cement, improve concrete attributes such as workability density, and reduce capillary bleeding or cracking. Some fillers possess hydraulic properties or participate in benign reactions within the cement paste.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) are promising for scalable carbon dioxide (CO2) capture.
  • Current MMMs face challenges with polymer-filler compatibility and micropore structure, limiting performance.
  • Developing advanced MMMs is crucial for efficient industrial carbon capture technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a thermal cyclotrimerization strategy for tuning MMM microstructure and polymer-filler interface.
  • To enhance the performance of PIM-1 based MMMs using MAF-stu-1 filler for CO2 capture.
  • To link material-level improvements to process-level outcomes for industrial applications.

Main Methods:

  • A thermal cyclotrimerization strategy was applied to PIM-1 polymer.
  • Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated using PIM-1 and MAF-stu-1 filler.
  • Characterization involved sorption measurements, spectroscopy, surface energy analysis, and molecular simulations.

Main Results:

  • Thermally rearranged MMMs exhibited high CO2 permeability (>10,000 barrer) and increased CO2/N2 selectivity (from 18 to 46).
  • Cyclotrimerization introduced triazine units, improving polymer chain packing and interfacial interactions with the filler.
  • Enhanced pore accessibility and molecular discrimination were observed, leading to better CO2 capture.

Conclusions:

  • Thermal cyclotrimerization is a versatile strategy for engineering robust MMMs with improved interfacial chemistry.
  • The developed MMMs show significant advancements in CO2 capture performance.
  • This approach effectively links material properties to reduced specific CO2 capture costs, advancing practical membrane technologies.
