Hypercrosslinked polymer (HCP) additives were successfully incorporated into two matrices: glassy with intrinsic microporosity comprising ethanoanthracene and Tröger's base (PIM-EA-TB) as well rubbery polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), forming thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) applications. The thermal stability surface morphology of TFN characterized by...

To overcome the limitations of polymers, such as trade-off relationship between water permeance and solute rejection, well difficulty functionalization, research on nanomaterials is being actively conducted. One representative graphene, which has a two-dimensional shape chemical tunability. Graphene usually used in form graphene oxide treatment field because it advantages high functionality its...

Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) is an emerging membrane separation technology, which urgently requires robust, easily processed, OSN membranes possessing high permeance and small solutes-selectivity to facilitate enhanced industrial uptake. Herein, we describe the use of two 2,2′-biphenol (BIPOL) derivatives fabricate hyper-crosslinked, microporous polymer nanofilms through IP. Ultra-thin,...
