In this report titled "Photocrosslinking-induced Phase Separation in Evaporative Solvents: Formation of Skin Layers and Microspheres", we investigated the structure formation of films obtained via photocrosslinking of precursors during the
We studied the "influence of substrate confinement on the phase-correlation in the capillary breakup of arrays of patterned polymer stripes". For the two extreme cases of viscosity ratios we investigated, in-phase breakup of strongly confined
In this study titled "Use of nanoimprinted surface patterns to mitigate colloidal deposition on ultrafiltration membranes", we demonstrate that submicron patterns can be successfully imprinted onto a commercial polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane
Zhen's paper "Morphological evolution of thin PS/PMMA films: Effects of surface energy and blend composition" is now published on Polymer!
Liang's paper "Fabrication and Characterizations of Crosslinked Porous Polymer Films with Varying Chemical Compositions" is now published on Polymer!
The paper is about the correlation between barrier layer Tg of RO membrane and its performance upon chlorine degradation. This is our second paper on membrane study.
Liang attended the NSF EFRI Grantees Meeting in DC this March and presented his study related to living wall materials and systems for automatic building thermo-regulation.
Zheng's presentation on the instabilities of patterned polymer bilayers won the Wayne Beattie Memorial Best Presentation Award at the materials session of 2012 Graduate Engineering Annual Research Symposium (GEARS). Congratulations, Zheng!
