“…Since the discovery of carbon nanotube (CNT) in 1991, it has been considered ultimate filler to enhance mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of several polymeric materials [7,8]. Even low concentration of CNT may considerably improve the mechanical strength of polymeric materials [9,10]. Impregnating polymeric membranes with inorganic nano-sized particles such as silica/zeolite and organic particles carbon black/nanotube/fullerene lead to organic-inorganic nanocomposite membranes [11][12][13].…”

Impregnating polymeric membranes with inorganic zeolite particles and organic carbon nanotube particles led to organic-inorganic nanocomposite membranes. In this work, nano-zeolite (NZ) and carbon nanotube (CNT) were used as nanofiller materials, while poly(1-hexadecene-sulfone)/poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) (PHS/PS) blend was used as matrix material. PHS/PS/NZ membranes have shown fine dispersion, although layered-particulate morphology was seen in PHS/PS/NZ-CNT 10 membrane. Tensile strength of PHS/PS/NZ 1-10 was 53-58 MPa, while PHS/PS/NZ-CNT 1-10 showed higher values 67-78 MPa. Young's Modulus of PHS/PS/NZ 1-10 was 122.2-137.7 MPa, while PHS/PS/NZ-CNT 1-10 showed higher values 143.4-166.5 MPa. Moreover, the nano-zeolite/carbon nanotube (NZ-CNT) filler was found more effective than nano-zeolite in enhancing CO 2 permeability and permselectivity. The permeability PCO 2 of PHS/PS/NZ and PHS/PS/ NZ-CNT membranes increased with increasing filler concentration and reached 177.3 Barrer at 10 wt% filler content. The permselectivity aCO 2 /N 2 for PHS/PS/ NZ-CNT 10 membrane (36.1 Barrer) was also higher than PHS/PS/NZ 10 (32.9 Barrer).

In this effort, blend membrane of polycarbonate (PC) and polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PPMA) was fabricated via phase inversion technique. The nano-zeolite (NZ) was employed as nanofiller. Morphology of PC/PPMA/NZ membrane revealed unique inter-connected branched microstructure. Tensile strength and Young's Modulus of PC/PPMA/NZ 0.1-5 were in the range of 59.9-74.5 MPa and 111.4-155.2 MPa respectively. The nano-zeolite filler was also effective in enhancing the permselectivity αCO 2 /N 2 (23.5 to 38.5) relative to blend membrane (20.3). The permeability P CO2 of PC/PPMA/NZ 5 membrane was found as 106.2 Barrer. Filler loading enhanced gas diffusivity, however filler content did not significantly influence CO 2 and N 2 solubility.

“…This case was utilized for graphene enhanced detection of α-fetoprotein, which is biomarker for cancer. The modification of graphene sheets was carried out by antibodies, then the α-fetoprotein was added and consequently secondary antibodies loaded with microspheres bearing horseradish peroxidase enzyme were sensitive labels [39,40]. The second approach utilizes graphene as label bearing nanocarriers.…”
