Disclosed are a green synthesis method of an antibacterial super-porous hydrogel, a product of the antibacterial super-porous hydrogel and an application of the antibacterial super-porous hydrogel to degradation of various pollutants in wastewater treatment. The super-porous hydrogel based on poly (ionic liquid) is prepared by copolymerization of an imidazole type ionic liquid with double bonds and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) as a cross-linker. In the reaction system, water is a good solvent for the monomer ionic liquid and PEGDA, but a poor solvent for the poly (ionic liquid); when an initial concentration of the ionic liquid is higher than 25%, the phase separation typically proceeds through poly(ionic liquid) formation, interconnected networks with macroporous structure could be obtained by photo-crosslinking.

A carbon nanotube (CNT)/polymer film or CNT/polymer composite structure containing CNTs, arranged uniformly in a randomly oriented distribution in the polymer matrix. The CNT sheet is manufactured by applying a highly dispersed CNT-polymer-solvent suspension, mixed using ultrasonication, over a carrier, using a coating process, and drying to form the CNT/polymer film. The CNT film is useful in making CNT composite laminates and structures having utility for electro-thermal heating, deicing, shielding for wire & cable, thermal interface pads, energy storage, heat dissipation, conductive composites, antennas, reflectors, and electromagnetic environmental effects (E3), such as lightning strike protection, EMP protection, directed energy protection, and EMI shielding in a variety of form factors such as sheets, roll stocks, and tapes.

A preform for thermoset resin composition molding is provided that upon cure forms a variety of molded and fiber reinforced articles used in a variety of applications such as vehicle components including bed lines, body components, trim, interior components, and undercar components; architectural components such as trim and doors, marine components including hulls, trim, and cockpit pieces; and similar structures in aerospace settings. A novel slurry composition, a novel centrifugal process, or a combination thereof provide superior quality preforms that are created with greater throughput relative to conventional techniques. The inhibition of fiber movement between the time such a fiber contacts the mold, or fibers already in place on the mold, and the time the fibers are set in position provides a superior fiber homogeneity and randomized orientation relative to existing slurry techniques with attributes of low scrap generation, and process flexibility with respect to part shape and fiber material.
