Heavy metal (Pb, Ni, Cd) elimination from water and wastewater using an antibacterial modified cellulose filter paper as an efficient filtration membrane technology: A portable fil... by Milad Kazemnejadi

“…Investigating the adsorption mechanism by high resolution XPS analyzes showed that the adsorption was done both through coordination with Schiff base ligands and through non-bonding electron pairs of N and O atoms on the surface of filter paper. Tests on shrinkage and swellability confirmed that the filter paper maintains its quality through multiple wetting and drying cycles, allowing for repeated use, wherein 0.9 mg/L and 0.4 cm changes in swellability and shrinkage was observed after five consecutive cycles. …”

Improving Biocompatibility of Polyurethanes Apply in Medicine Using Oxygen Plasma and Its Negative Effect on Increased Bacterial Adhesion by Kamil Drożdż, Monika Gołda-Cępa, Paulina Chytrosz-Wróbel, Andrzej Kotarba, Monika Brzychczy-Włoch

“…The results showed that the modification of polyurethane by oxygen plasma allowed the introduction of functional groups containing oxygen (-OH and -COOH), which significantly increased its hydrophilicity (change from 105° ± 2° to 9° ± 2°) of PUs. Surface analysis by atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed changes in PU topography (change in maximum height from ∼110.3 nm to ∼32.1 nm). …”
