Advances in Membrane Technology: A Comprehensive Review of Materials, Processes, and Applications
Abstract: Membrane technology has become a critical platform for sustainable separation processes across water treatment, energy generation, chemical processing, and healthcare. Over recent decades, advances in materials, fabrication methods, and process design have dramatically expanded the performance, efficiency, and applications of membrane-based systems. Polymeric membranes dominate the industry due to cost-effectiveness and scalability, while ceramic, metallic, and composite membranes offer enhanced thermal and chemical resistance for specialized environments. Nanostructured and bio-inspired …

Finite Element Formulation for Mechanical Buckling of FGM Plate Exposed to Various Boundary Conditions
Abstract: Mechanical buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) material plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. In the real world many components manufactured by FG materials face the buckling load under certain conditions. Various types of gradation law for tailoring the material properties are applied by the researcher, out of that, presently a simple power law for material gradation is applied with shear correction factor (SCF) is used to take account …

Exploring Polymer Biocomposite as a Sustainable Filter for Water Treatment
Abstract: The present study explores the utilization of polylactic acid (PLA), a renewable polymer combined with surface-modified nanocellulose (SMNC), and pectin derived from Borassus flabellifer leaves and fruits respectively. Existing methods of filtration are synthetic and affect the environment and public health at an alarming rate thereby making biopolymer-based membranes a greener and effective approach for water treatment. PLA-SMNC-pectin biofilm was fabricated using 88.5 mg PLA, 3.5% (wt. % of PLA) …
