The field of organic solvent nanofiltration has recently gained significant attention in materials sciences due to its advantages over conventional techniques. A paper published in the Journal of Membrane Science has explored the rapid fabrication of covalent organic polymer membranes for use in this field.
Hydrogen is considered a vital component of the energy transition: it can be produced from solar or wind power and therefore stores green energy in form of an environmentally friendly energy carrier, providing energy also at night and during periods of calm winds. Hydrogen also acts as a climate-neutral fuel for fuel-cell cars and trucks, enabling greater ranges than battery-powered vehicles.
A pioneering plastic created at RMIT University repels dirt and liquids—similar to a lotus leaf—then breaks down quickly once in soil.
Porvair Sciences high performance, precision manufactured Vyon® porous plastics are perfect support materials for chromatographic resins used in the isolation and purification steps of pharmaceutical drug and vaccine production.
The United States generates more plastic trash than any other country – about 46.3 million tons of it -- or 287 pounds per person a year, according to a 2020 study.
A group of all-RIKEN chemists has developed a polymer that exhibits the potential to catalyze its formation in an eco-friendly solvent-free process.
One of the central elements of the circular economy concept is the value-added utilization of waste streams by industry. For example, recovering and recycling wood waste from construction and demolished structures is envisioned as a key part of achieving circularity in the construction industry.
Natural compounds display unique structures and stereoisomerism that can inform research into the creation of mechanically robust materials which display behavior defined by stereochemistry.
Materials with auxetic properties are a current research focus in the textiles industry due to their physical properties that make them useful for a variety of purposes.
All-polymer blend solar cells are expected to play an important role in the transition to clean energy technologies because they can be easily produced in large-scale flexible sheets. However, their performance has lagged behind that of more traditional silicon alternatives, as well as other organic solar cells.
