In this work we presented a general strategy for the fabrication of membranes with well-defined ions transport channels through solvent-responsive layer-by-layer assembly (SR-LBL). Multilayered poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) complexes were first introduced on the inner pore wall and the surface of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone)/poly (ether sul...

Using NMR spectroscopy and NMR imaging, the behaviour of polymers in supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2) using a custom-made cell designed from poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has been observed. The mechanism of swelling of polymers in sc-CO2 and the overall effects of sc-CO2 on the transport properties of both small and large molecules has been studied. We report on the swelling characteristics of radi...
