Jpn., 56, 2153567, https://doi.org/10.1080/00219592.2022.2153547, 2023.04, Polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) have shown excellent performance in separating metal ions—a critical step in metal recycling processes. However, progress in PIM research has been limited to empirical approaches that typically require redundant membrane fabrication optimizations. Recent reports may provide essential insight into basic knowledge on the nature of the membrane and what challenges and disputes need to be addressed. In this review, we first introduce a basic understanding of how a PIM works in metal separation and the brief history behind its invention. Fundamental principles of the membrane design are established based on consistent data trends in the literature. We then highlight recent findings that have implications for both practical applications and theoretical consequences. In addition, challenges to understanding plausible mechanisms and transport models across PIMs are identified systematically. Finally, we include some perspective on each finding and an outlook regarding the future direction of PIM research, focusing on the application as a metal recovery technology..
4. Md. K. Ali, R. Md. Moshikur, M. Goto, M. Moniruzzaman, Recent Developments in Ionic Liquid-Assisted Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery, Pharmaceutical Research, 1-17 (2022), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11095-022-03322-x, 2022.07, Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted growing interest as designer solvents/materials for exploring unrealized functions in many areas of research including drug formulations and delivery owing to their inherent tunable physicochemical and biological properties. The use of ILs in the pharmaceutical industry can address challenges related to the use of conventional organic solvent-based chemical permeation enhancers. Their tunability in forming ion pairs with a diverse range of ions enables the task-specific optimization of ILs at the molecular level. In particular, ILs comprising second- and third-generation cations and anions have been extensively used to design biocompatible drug delivery systems to address the challenges related to conventional topical and transdermal drug delivery, including limited permeability, high cytotoxicity, and skin irritation. This review highlights the progress in IL-related research with particular emphasis on the very recent conceptual developments in transdermal drug delivery. Technological advancement and approaches for the formation of IL-based topical and transdermal delivery systems, as well as their promising application in drug delivery, are also discussed..
