• nanofiber scaffold, a slow release of BBR was observed during the first 24 h (lag time), attributed to the hydrophobicity of the scaffold requiring a long time for water permeation. When the scaffold was wetted, BBR was fast released, reaching approximately 60% of the loaded BBR in 36 h. However, in the

The water permeation time was reduced from 130 to 9 s with the increase of P34HB from 30 to 50 wt % [68]. Ge et al

• general, the number of passings of mixture components at 280 and 300 K are similar. A completely different behavior can be observed in the case of water permeation at 320 K. Figure 11, top panel, shows a sharp increase of the number of water molecules in the permeate area at a time of about 2 ns. However

• stability improvement towards dissolution. Therefore, we have tested the long-term water permeation stability of thermally treated AAO membranes. The temperature of 600 °C was chosen to induce the crystallization of AAO and to avoid permeance loss due to destruction of the porous structure. However

• , thermally treated membranes have also illustrated water permeation loss during the operation and after membrane drying between the cycles. To provide an additional protection, carbon CVD (by the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons) was also adopted in the same thermal treatment regime to provide a continuous 10 nm

In water permeation experiments, both the membranes illustrate a significant increase in membrane stability. Moreover, in both cases, the membrane permeance remains nearly the same after
