Polyvinyl alcohol membranes modified by low-hydroxylated fullerenol C60(OH)12

Fullerene derivatives as nano-additives in polymer composites

“…13,176,177 It was shown that PVA forms hydrogen or covalent bonds with fullerenol depending on the cross-linking method. The structure of the PVA ± fullerenol membranes with hydrogen bonds is shown in Fig.…”

“…The same result was obtained in the study of the synthesis of npropyl acetate using a hybrid process`esterification with pervaporation'. 177 During the separation of the n-propanol ± n-propyl acetate ± water ternary azeotropic mixture the flux increased by 170% compared to the unmodified PVA membrane. 177 All membranes were highly selective to water.…”

“…177 During the separation of the n-propanol ± n-propyl acetate ± water ternary azeotropic mixture the flux increased by 170% compared to the unmodified PVA membrane. 177 All membranes were highly selective to water. These results show a promise in the application of these chemically cross-linked membranes in the separation of water-containing mixtures.…”

“…Theranostic agents containing radioactive atoms can also be designed on the basis of corresponding EMFs. An example is provided by a conjugate 177 Lu-DOTAf-Gd 3 N@C 80 with a TNT-EMF (as MRI contrast agent) and a 177 Lu complex with DOTA (as therapeutic agent). For the imaging capabilities of this theranostic agent, see Ref.…”

“…344 Radiopharmaceuticals based on EMFs. Endohedral metallofullerenes with encapsulated radioactive metal atoms ( 166 Ho, 177 Lu) are expected to act as radiotracers or as delivery systems for brachytherapy. A biodistribution study of 166 Ho x @C 82 (OH) y demonstrated the feasibility of using this compound as a radiotracer.…”
