Abstract:
A filtration filter used for filtering a liquid chemical for lithography, provided with a polyimide resin porous membrane; a filtration method including allowing a liquid chemical for lithography to pass through the filtration filter; and a production method of a purified liquid chemical product for lithography, including filtering a liquid chemical for lithography by the filtration method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polymer compositions and their manufacture. Specifically, the invention relates to multiblock polymers and copolymers, their fabrication, modification and/or functionalization and use as membranes or films.
Abstract:
Membranes comprising a single layer having a first microporous surface; a second microporous surface; and, a porous bulk between the first microporous surface and the second microporous surface, wherein the bulk comprises a first set of pores having outer rims, prepared by removing introduced dissolvable silica nanoparticles, the first set of pores having a first controlled pore size, and a second set of pores connecting the outer rims of the first set of pores, the second set of pores having a second controlled pore size, and a polymer matrix supporting the first set of pores, wherein the first controlled pore size is greater than the second controlled pore size, and wherein the first and/or second microporous surface comprises a neutrally charged, a negatively charged, or a positively charged, surface; filters including the membranes, and methods of making and using the membranes, are disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention generally relates to the field of dispensing liquids, and in particular to aerosolizing of fine liquid droplets, for example for delivery of medicinal products to the deeper, peripheral lung. The invention provides perforated membranes with specifically shaped holes, each hole exhibiting two adjacent and preferably coaxially arranged cylindrical longitudinal sections, whose second length is larger than the first length and whose second diameter is larger than the first diameter. Such perforated membranes provide an improved hole diameter precision (± 0.5 µm), lower achievable pitch values and/or higher achievable hole densities in order to allow for the generation of very fine aerosols with droplet sizes preferably below 3 µm at high throughput rates larger than 0.5 ml/min. The invention further provides a process for the preparation of such perforated membranes and their application in inhalation devices, such as vibrating mesh nebulisers, and for inhalation therapies.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a filtration chamber comprising a microfabricated filter enclosed in a housing, wherein the surface of said filter and/or the inner surface of said housing are modified by vapor deposition, sublimation, vapor-phase surface reaction, or particle sputtering to produce a uniform coating; and a method for separating cells of a fluid sample, comprising: a) dispensing a fluid sample into the filtration chamber disclosed herein; and b) providing fluid flow of the fluid sample through the filtration chamber, wherein components of the fluid sample flow through or are retained by the filter based on the size, shape, or deformability of the components.
Abstract:
A sieve filter for filtering a juice comprising fluid and fibrous content is provided, e.g. for application in a centrifugal juicer. The sieve filter (1) has a frontal surface (2) and an aft surface (3) and a plurality of filter holes (4) extending between the frontal and aft surface (2, 3). Each of the plurality of filter holes (4) has a sieve hole surface (5) which transitions into the frontal surface (2) in a continuous manner. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing such a sieve filter is described. Also, the invention relates to a centrifugal juicer with a sieve filter (1) as described.
