On the relationship between the electric double layer and actuation in ionomeric polymer transducers by Akle, Barbar J.

“…Ionic polymer transducers are soft actuators that perform large bending deflections when voltages on the order of 1–5 V are applied across their thickness. Previous work showed that actuation performance of ionic polymer transducers is strongly correlated with the capacitance due to surface charge accumulation. …”

Enhancement of polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane with third generation poly(amido amine)-graphene oxide nanocomposite by Ahmed T. Yasir (16518552)

“…The abundance of -OH and -NH2 groups on the synthesized nanocomposites resulted in improved hydrophilicity of the membrane and aided improving the membrane porosity and increased its pore radius. As a result, the membrane pure water permeation flux increased by 1300 % for the new membrane compared to pristine PSF membrane to reach a maximum of 124.5 LMH/bar while maintaining a high BSA rejection rate of 99 % with a flux recovery rate of 55 %. …”
