Congratulations to Jaylene for winning the best poster award at 2022 spring American Chemical Society (ACS) Meeting! Here is a nice news piece by the department.
Congratulations, Dr. Adrienne Blevins for successfully defending Ph.D thesis on "Using Photopatterned Two Stage Reactive Polymers to Address Mechanical and Transport Property Trade-offs".
Check out our newly published paper on patterning microporous PVDF membrane using thermally induced phase separation (TIPS process). When TIPS process is confined within a patterned soft mold (made of PDMS), the features on the molds are replicated onto the PVDF membrane after solvent extraction. The patterning fadelity is between...
Check out our new publication on understanding the true permeation resistance of porous support in high-pressure RO process. It is conventional wisdom in the membrane community that support layer does not contribute to the overall resistance of RO membranes. Our study show that this is not true under high pressure...
Big congrats to Dr. Masoud Aghajani for successfully defending his Ph.D thesis on "POLYMERIC MEMBRANES UNDER LOADING: MECHANICAL RESPONSE AND PERMEATION BEHAVIOR"!
Congratulations to Dr. Mengyuan Wang for successfully defending her Ph.D thesis on "Study of Solid Liquid Interfacial Polymerization and applications on surfacemodification and thin film formation"!
We hosted another SMART student, Faith Olulana, from University of Maryland. Faith conducted research in the lab for 10 weeks, under the supervision of Jaylene Martinez. We wish all the best to Faith to complete her remaining undergrad study at UMD.
