As global climate change is a major concern which is accelerated by CO2 emissions, we need to reduce CO2 emissions from the environment. In order to do that, researchers conceptualized CO2 reduction cells which electrochemically ...

Present research is aimed at the development of crosslinked polymers from biomass pyrolysis oil. Crosslinked polymers are high performance materials employed in a wide range of applications and are most commonly derived ...

The ion exchange membrane (IEM) is a crucial part of various applications from water purification (i.e. electrodialysis) to energy conversion (i.e. photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction cells (PEC-CRC) and direct urea fuel ...

This dissertation focuses on understanding transport and co-transport behavior for a series of species in dense, hydrated polymer membranes. The rate of solute transport through a membrane, permeability, is a fundamental ...

This Thesis investigates multicomponent polymer systems in the context of their characterization and their synthesis. The composition of the different polymers comprising multicomponent polymer systems is a vital variable ...

Society’s demands for more products and more energy places great strain on the industries responsible for producing them. Polymers present the opportunity to replace many of the “traditional” materials and open the door ...
