This work was aimed at evaluating adsorption of water molecules onto membrane surfaces modified by sulphonamide derivates. Controlling interfacial forces at the membrane-feed interface were assessed by combining experimental and theoretical studies. The phenomena experimentally observed were also in

In the present paper we illustrate applications of a new set of force balance equations able to predict the average size of a droplet forming during cross-flow membrane emulsification processes. These balance equations allow to correlate the droplet diameters with the advancing and receding contact

Capsules of PEEKWC are prepared using a membrane process combined with phase inversion technique. Polymeric droplets were prepared using a mono-pore film in polyethylene with pore diameter ranging from 300 to 1000 mm. The morphology, porosity and shell thickness of the made capsules are modified cha
