Researchers found that the use of bio-based solvents such as cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) in interfacial polymerization leads to the production of thin-film-based composite membranes with higher performance properties.
The Use of Revolutionary Electrospun Membrane Ensures Improved Safety and Effectiveness in Drug Formulation
Sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students gathered in person to launch the third year of the mentoring program, along with alumni of the chemical engineering program.
Atomic force microscopy's (AFM) nanoscale imaging and measurement capabilities allow researchers to gain molecular-level insights into membrane morphology, fouling, surface interactions, and performance under simulated water treatment conditions. These unique capabilities make AFM instrumental in understanding and optimizing the membranes and barriers central to water purification technologies.
Maria Carreon, associate professor in the Ralph E. Martin Department of Chemical Engineering, will research ways to reform carbon dioxide into more useful compounds using plasma processing.
