Polymeric Progress

Progress and Perspective of Antifouling, Pressure Driven, Flat-Sheet Nanocomposite, Polymeric Membranes in Water Treatment

Membrane filtration, especially based on the size exclusion phenomenon, has long been established due to its abilities to addressing the growing demands of the clean water of the world’s population. However, widespread applications of the membranes face several challenges including chemical vulnerability, thermal deterioration, and biological degradation of the membranes that transpire while re...

GCEP Progress Report for Advanced Transportation Transportation Vehicle Light-Weighting with Polymeric Glazing and Mouldings Investigators

Polymeric glazing and mouldings are an extremely high “want” from the transportation community, enabling more creative designs as well as improved part consolidation。 However, plastic windows and mouldings must have high-performance and low-cost protective coating systems with lifetimes in excess of 10 years. Current polymeric glazings do not meet durability/performance requirements for near-te...

Polymeric ionic liquids for CO2 capture and separation: potential, progress and challenges

The increasing level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is a big threat to the environment and plays a key role towards global warming and climate change. In this context to combat such issues, polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) serve as potential substitutes that offer an extremely versatile and tunable platform to fabricate a wide variety of sorbents for CO2 capture, in particular, for flu...

Polymeric Drugs

The subject of polymeric drugs has recently achieved wide attention and is discussed anlong scientists interested in macrbmolecular science and in biological and pharmaceutical disciplines1). The general concept is also penetrating into regulatory authorities responsible for administering the areas of food and drng related subjects'. W e are limiting our discussion on polymeric drugs to materia...
