The surface functional groups of VACFs were modified to improve the adsorption and catalysis capacity for SO2. The surface properties of the untreated and plasma-treated VACFs were diagnosed by SEM, BET, FTIR, and XPS, and the adsorption capacities of VACFs for SO2 were also compared and discussed. The results show that after the plasma treatment, the external surface of VACFs was etched and became rougher, while the surface area and the total pore volume decreased. FTIR and XPS revealed that nitrogen atoms were introduced onto the VACFs surface and the distribution of functional groups on the VACFs surface was changed remarkably. The adsorption characteristic of SO2 indicates that the plasmatreated VACFs have better adsorption capacity than the original VACFs due to the nitrogen functional groups and new functional groups formed in modification, which is beneficial to the adsorption of SO2.展开更多

A mechanism for the synthesis of P(AM-co-AA) hydrogel was proposed. To optimize the synthesis condition, the following parameters were examined in detail: the discharge voltage, discharge time, the content of the crosslinker, and the mass ratio of AM to AA. The results showed that the optimum pH range for cationic dyes removal was found to be 5.0-10.0. The P(AM-co-AA) hydrogel exhibits a very high adsorption potential and the ex- perimental adsorption capacities for Crystal violet (CV) and Methylene blue (MB) were 2974.3 mg/g and 2303.6 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In addition, the adsorption mechanism of P(AM-co-AA) hydrogel for cationic dyes was also discussed.展开更多

All immune cell indexes in study group were significantly better than those in control group, after treatment. All inflammatory factors were significantly decreased in both groups. All inflammatory factors in study group were significantly better than those in control group, after treatment. The APACHEⅡ in study group was significantly better than that in control group, after treatment. The death rate in study group was significantly less than that in control group.Conclusion:Continuous plasma filtration with adsorption has a great clinical efficacy on patients with sepsis in ICU, which can improve the immune level and prognosis, makes it worth for clinical application.展开更多

The PVA-coated PTFE capillary surface was characterized by XPS and FESEM. The grafting degree of PVA and the amount of CB F3GA immobilized onto the membranous capillary were 23.5 mg/g and 89.6 pmol/g, respectively. These dyed membranous capillaries were chemically and mechanically stable, and could be reproducibly prepared. Human serum albumin(HSA) was selected as model protein. The saturation adsorbance of the dye attached membranous capillary was 85.3 mg HSA/g, while the capacity of non-specific adsorption for HSA was less than 0.3 mg/g.展开更多

This paper analyses in detail the film properties and structures, such as hydrophilicity, compounds and microstructures as well as amine density by the water contact angle, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible measurement. The influence of discharge param- eters, in particular applied power, on amine density was investigated. As an application the cell adsorption behaviours on plasma polymerization films was performed in-vitro. The results show that at a high pressure pulsed DBD plasma can polymerize films with sufficient amine group on surface, through which the very efficient cell adsorption behaviours was demonstrated, and the high rate of cell proliferation was visualized.展开更多
