W620: Mechanical Testing
The production crew recently delivered W620 to the lab, which was created to mimic W504 (and W612). W620 shows high burst pressure and has air permeability comparable to W504/612.

Integrated Nano Technologies – Gold Flow
To this point, I have shown that our membranes are stable with the use of INT’s developer over time. I have also shown that their developer has statistically similar flow properties to that of water, and is a viable option to pass through our membranes. This post will discuss the possibility of using their unique…
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…
New Wafers
A few of the newest SC wafers came back with intact samples without any pinholes. First here is a list of the experiments that we want to do in our lab with intact/pinhole free membranes 1. Protein separations – Requires >10 samples per wafer (preferably even more) for replicates of separations in both pressure and…
HUVEC alignment on SiN membrane under flow
ByHenryHi all, A while back I have posted about my attempt to culture bEnd3 (mouse brain endothelial cell) underflow, which failed to maintain bEnd3 proliferation and did not promote alignment under flow. As an alternative/control, I switch the cell types to HUVEC (human umbilical cord endothelial cells), which is known to do well under flow….
Adsorption Quantification V
This week I went back and took a look at this figure. In the previous incarnation, when prewetted, PES dropped down in adsorption much less than cellulose. I decided to retry this sample and keep in mind some of the things we have learned since then. I was careful to expose both sides of the…
TAMRA labeling of vacuoles
One of the ongoing efforts with endothelial cell culture on pnc-Si is to confirm that the holes in these cells are actually vacuoles. In my last post, I tried to do this with FITC-Dextran and TMRIA with indefinite results. I ordered some 5-6-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA, C-300 from Invitrogen) to do this test again. This rhodamine dye…
