Item Biodegradable and Biocompatible Polymeric Materials for Dentistry Applications(wiley, 2022) Pallavi, K.C.; Isloor, A.M.; Rao, L.N.The ongoing review assembles particulars regarding the diverse biodegradable polymeric materials, also which are specified by sole criteria of biocompatibility that are utilized for diagnosis and treatment needed in dentistry. Natural polymeric substrates are conjunct with various other bioactive molecules or polymers, which strikes off limitations of the former yielding an emerging composite modeled to attain the form of encapsulated microspheres, hydrogels, membranes, nanofibers, and scaffolds. The sustainability of particular polymeric material in the biomedical stream such as dentistry is decided by evaluating aspects, such as the extent of immunogenicity on employing, degradability time versus functionality time, noncytotoxicity, and performance on respective treatment. Enormous materials have been modeled, which have proven their viability in treating dental conditions, like chronic periodontitis, microbial attacks like bacterial and fungal infections, and bone deterioration, also in the controlled discharge of oral drugs. © 2022 Scrivener Publishing LLC.Item Review on polymeric membrane materials for gas separations which are stated above the Robeson’s trade-off upper bound(Elsevier, 2023) Vijesh, A.M.; Isloor, A.M.Membrane separation of gases is highly energy efficient and are widely accepted compared to other conventional gas separation methods. Membrane gas separation plays a vital role in the protection of our environment and ensures sustainable growth of industries. The compromise between permeability and selectivity as explained by the Robeson’s upper bound minimized the number of commercial gas separation membranes. It unveiled the tailoring of new materials in the design of superior membranes. This review chapter explores the recent developments of membrane materials for various gas/vapor separation applications. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

Conventional methods involve huge extent of energy and less performance. Inorganic membranes possess excellent chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability compared to any other conventional counterparts. Very fast and attractive progresses have been found regarding inorganic membrane material modeling and development, fabrication method, control over microstructure, and optimization. Various zeolite, silica, and carbon-derived membranes are found effective in gas separations such as natural gas isolation, helium extraction, carbon dioxide capture, hydrocarbon separations, and many more. Because of the good stability, high separation performance, nonvolatility, and designable properties of the inorganic membranes, they have been rendered as novel potential candidates and alternative media for gas separation. This content enables to find out the new developments happened in the domain of inorganic membranes utilized in gas separation which stay above the Robeson’s boundary. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
