    A Contemplating Review on Pure and Modified Polymeric Membranes for O2/N2 Separation

    By Shakir Ul Azam, Arshad Hussain, Sarah Farrukh, Witold Kwapinski, Muhammad Ayoub

    Abstract: The separation of O2/N2 by using membrane technology from air got the interest of the process industries due to its advantage over the conventional technologies like cryogenic distillation and pressure swing adsorption, in terms of simplicity, size, economic and power consumption. Membrane material selection for the separation of O2/N2 is challenging because most of the materials have low selectivityand others have low permeability. To meet both the selectivity of O2/N2 …

    A Compact Review on Physical Vapor Deposition Techniques of Thin Films

    By Muhammad Muzammil, Sarah Farrukh, Aftab Akram

    Abstract: The effectiveness and performance of a material is greatly influenced by its surface properties. It is possible to manipulate and alter these surface characteristics to satisfy the particular characteristics for better results. One way of modifying these properties is by coating that particular surface with thin film. There exist wide number of methodologies for coating a surface or depositing thin films over it. These techniques can be categorized either as …

    Study Analysis of Nano Particle based Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Composites

    By Fahad Usaman, Sarah Farrukh, Sarim Ali, Arshad Hussain

    Abstract: Utilization of Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) composites for development of new and modification of already present structures has increased largely in the past few decades. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites have many qualities like corrosion resistant, longer life time, less weight, specific stiffness and high strength, are effortlessly built, and can be custom-made to fulfill execution prerequisites [1]. Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites are ordinarily manufactured utilizing a polymer framework, for example, …

    To explore the effect of polyethylene glycol additive on mechanical and gas permeation properties of polyvinyl alcohol membranes

    By Muhammad Fahad Yousaf, Sarah Farrukh, Arshad Hussain

    Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membranes were prepared by solution casting and blended with Polyethylene glycol (PEG) in de-ionized water which led to the formation of porous and flexible membranes. Extensive experimentation were performed, in order to find out that at what composition of PEG pores will be generated in the PVA membranes. The PVA polymer is a hard and crystalline thermoplastic so high concentrations of PEG were used, i.e. 40 wt%, …
