Researchers describe a new kind of polymer membrane they created that could reshape how refineries process crude oil, dramatically reducing the energy and water required while extracting even more ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A membrane made up of block polymers has the customizable and uniform pore sizes needed for filtering or recovering particular substances from wastewater, researchers say in a ...

Polymeric membranes are widely used in separation technologies due to their low cost and easily scalable fabrication. However, unlike inorganic nanoporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks ...

A team of researchers has achieved a breakthrough in the development of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). They designed a novel spiro-branched polymeric membrane that incorporates highly connected ...

Metal hydrides are considered a cutting-edge storage material for hydrogen. These hydrides function even better, if the micrometer-sized hydride particles are coated with a thin polymer film. Using a ...

A novel ultrathin polymer membrane developed at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia ...

A highly used and facile method for applying graphene to a support membrane is by vacuum filtration, whereby the graphene is mixed well and suspended in a solvent, which is then filtered through the ...

Leading a research team that recently received a grant from the US Department of Energy, Michele Galizia, a President’s Associates Presidential Professor in the School of Sustainable Chemical, ...

A sample of a DUCKY polymer membrane researchers created to perform the initial separation of crude oils using significantly less energy. A new kind of polymer membrane created by researchers at ...
