Absorbent materials configured to sequester trimethylamine (TMA), absorbent articles made therefrom, related methods of use, methods of measuring a reduction of free TMA, and related methods of making absorbent articles are described.

The hydrogen storage product comprises one or more reduced-graphene oxide layers functionalized with a boron species and decorated with an alkali or alkaline earth metal. Each layer of the structure further comprises boron-oxygen functional groups comprising oxygen atoms bonded to boron atoms. The hydrogen storage product has a composition suitable for physisorption of hydrogen molecule, and operates to reversibly store hydrogen under operating conditions of low pressure and ambient temperature.

A composite film framework that includes a support; a metal oxide layer on the support; and a metal organic framework film on the metal oxide layer 2, wherein a metal atom is shared by a metal oxide in the metal oxide layer and a metal organic framework in the metal organic framework film at an interface between the metal oxide layer and the metal organic framework film.

Described are multi-layer filters of a type commonly known as “depth filters” and related devices and methods, with the filters containing a layer that includes polyaramid fiber, synthetic filter aid, and polymeric binder.

A process for the efficient transfer of molecules between phases employing mesoporous poly (aryl ether ketone) hollow fiber membranes is provided. The method addresses the controlled transfer of reactants into and removal of reaction products from a reaction media and the removal and separation of target molecules from process streams by membrane-assisted liquid-liquid extraction. A number of possible modes of liquid-liquid extraction are possible according to the invention by utilizing porous poly (aryl ether ketone) hollow fiber membranes of Janus-like structure that exhibit a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface characteristics. The method of the present invention can address the continuous manufacture of chemicals in membrane reactors and is useful for a broad range of separation applications, including separation and recovery of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

An oxygen-absorbing film including at least, from an outer layer side, a surface substrate layer having an oxygen barrier property, an oxygen-absorbing resin layer, and an inner surface substrate layer that contains a stretched PET substrate and is heat-sealable. The surface substrate layer, the oxygen-absorbing resin layer, and the inner surface substrate layer are laminated in this order. The oxygen-absorbing film provides an oxygen-absorbing film suitable as a packaging material that excels in oxidation suppression of packaging contents and in non-sorption of aroma components and also exhibits excellent tearability.

A separation membrane complex includes a porous support and a separation membrane formed on the support and used to separate fluid. A supply/permeation area ratio obtained by dividing a supply-side surface area by a permeation-side surface area is higher than or equal to 1.1 and lower than or equal to 5.0, the supply-side surface area being the area of a region of the surface of the separation membrane to which fluid is supplied, the permeation-side surface area being the area of a region of the surface of the support from which fluid that has permeated through the separation membrane and the support flows off.

A dehumidifying element includes a plurality of sheets that have moisture adsorption and desorption properties and that are stacked on top of each another. At least some of the sheets each have an irregular shape. The sheets each contain a hygroscopic agent having properties of a re-moistening-type glue that exhibits adherence when adsorbing moisture and that solidifies when being dried. The sheets are bonded to each other by the hygroscopic agent.

A layered sorbent material sheet includes a substrate sheet and a spacer sheet. The spacer sheet defines a plurality of spaced apart sorbent material strips. The sheets may be layered or rolled together. Multiple layers of alternating sheets are also disclosed. In some embodiments, the sorbent material sheets are arranged in a stacked configuration.

An air-permeable filter material that includes a polymeric aerogel having a polymeric matrix comprising an open-cell structure is disclosed. The air-permeable filter material can be included in a mask, which can be configured to be placed over a user's mouth and/or nose. The mask can include at least one layer of the air-permeable filter material and is positioned such that inhaled and/or exhaled air of the user passes through the filter material.
