Effects of density difference of constituent elements on glass formation in TiCu-based bulk metallic glasses
Abstract Glass formation is generally favored by a large atomic size mismatch among constituent elements, which usually leads to large density differences among them as well. During melting, elemental segregation occurs due to Stokes’ law and then...

Recent advances in the development of (bio)fouling resistant thin film composite membranes for desalination
Abstract Membrane (bio)fouling is a major obstacle to many separation and purification processes. Due to the inherent physicochemical properties of some thin film composite membrane surfaces such as polyamide, these are prone to (bio)fouling. Hence, ...
