Contributions to membrane resistance
In the soon to be submitted paper on diffusion models, we list two contributions to membrane resistance. The first is due to the steric and frictional hindrance a molecule encounters as it enters and diffuses through a pore (Renkin, Deen). The second is due to the time that it takes for the molecule to diffuse…
Imidazole functionalized graphene oxide/PEBAX mixed matrix membranes for efficient CO2 capture
ByJimSEPPUR-D-16-00198 Abstract Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were composed of imidazole functionalized graphene oxide (ImGO), a CO2-philic nano-sheet inorganic material, and poly(ether-b-amide) (PEBAX) for CO2 capture. MMM doped with 0.8 wt.% ImGO exhibits the best CO2 separation performance, which shows the CO2/N2 selectivity up to 105.5 combined with CO2 permeability of 76.2 Barrer (1 Barrer=10-10∙cm3(STP)∙cm-1∙cm-2∙s-1∙cmHg-1), surpassing…
SiN-NP in 50 nm SiN
Using a 6″ wafer, we start with 50 nm of RV SiN, then deposit 40 nm a-Si followed by 20 nm of SiO2. RTP of 1050 C, 100 C/s, 60s. JP patterned the wafer to make standard SEPCON chips. The pores were transferred to the SiN using RIE. The RIE etches faster at the perimeter…
FLAG Separation Experiments with an Enzymatic Activity Assay
As I mentioned in my previous post, there are a lot of problems associated with the technique for testing the ability of a CytoVu assembly to act as an assay that I had been trying to use before. Several possible sources of error were apparent, such as the difficulty inherent in consistently pipetting such small…
UV Ozone bonding of PDMS to glass, Si, and pnc-Si
ByHenryHi all, After experimenting with UV ozone bonding of PDMS to glass, Si, and pnc-Si for the past few weeks with Mike, we have reached the following conclusions: 1. The bonding of PDMS to glass is always stronger than the bonding of PDMS to Si and pnc-Si, given that all receive same treatment of UV…
Investigating the potential of astrocytes as a neuroinflammation markers by assessing their activation state
Introduction Astrocytes, which are the most abundant glial cells and key components of the BBB, are known to play crucial roles in initiating and responding to neuroinflammation.1 Astrocytes’ activation after injuries suggests that they could potentially serve as a marker of neuroinflammation. In this blog, I investigated the potential of astrocytes to serve as a…
