A multidisciplinary team including researchers and engineers has created a new type of filtration membranes for a wide range of applications—such as contaminant-removal processes, water purification, and small-molecule separations—that perform very well than existing technology and can be quickly produced.
Polyamides that are contained in cars, ski bindings, or items of clothing are important plastics. To date, crude oil is mainly used for commercial production of these plastics. Very few “green” alternatives to these plastics exist, for instance, castor-oil-based polyamides.
In the current medical field, polymer materials have a crucial role to play. Although several applications necessitate highly durable devices, others benefit from materials that degrade as soon as they are used once.
