more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with purification membranes through polymer chemistry is leading the way. Geoffrey M. Geise of the ...

Researchers have proposed using polymer membranes modified with copper, zinc, and chromium metal ions for water purification. These polymers were used for the first time in water purification via ...

Is there a way to obtain fresh water from seawater without employing conventional desalination techniques? A team led by Professor Sebastian Seiffert of the Department of Chemistry at JGU has ...

"The polymer-based membrane used in this study satisfies the fundamental requirement for robust, effective materials in the production of green hydrogen to be used in water electrolysis," Miyatake ...

They are used in cleaning our drinking water, treating sewage, processing foods and keeping pharmaceuticals safe—membranes ...

including the relationship between the membrane’s polymer backbone, ion content, and water uptake. Prof. Hickner will also describe the role of water in conducting protons and hydroxide anions and ...

Therefore, scientists have been hard at work designing lightweight electrolytes—such as polymers that ... is generated as protons and water diffuse across these membranes. Researchers come ...

For the hydrophilic parts of the polymer main chain ... As expected, the higher IEC membranes exhibited greater water uptake. In QPE-bl-3 (X5Y9), the water uptake of TMA (149%) was greater ...

A pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) methodology has been specifically developed for the ...

Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) has been awarded £6.1 million in funding from the UK Government Department of ...

The scientists used ion-exchange membranes with subnanometer ion transport pathways derived from polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), with either a rigid or contorted backbone, for the ...
