Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials
Zavala-Rivera, Paul; Channon, Kevin; Nguyen, Vincent; Sivaniah, Easan; Kabra, Dinesh; Friend, Richard H.; Nataraj, S. K.; Al-Muhtaseb, Shaheen A.; Hexemer, Alexander; Calvo, Mauricio E.; Miguez, Hernan... more authors ... less authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2012 , Article)Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow ... -
Controlled thermal oxidative crosslinking of polymers of intrinsic microporosity towards tunable molecular sieve membranes
Song, Qilei; Cao, Shuai; Pritchard, Robyn H.; Ghalei, Behnam; Al-Muhtaseb, Shaheen A.; Terentjev, Eugene M.; Cheetham, Anthony K.; Sivaniah, Easan... more authors ... less authors ( Nature Publishing Group , 2014 , Article)Organic open frameworks with well-defined micropore (pore dimensions below 2 nm) structure are attractive next-generation materials for gas sorption, storage, catalysis and molecular level separations. Polymers of intrinsic ... -
Novel methodology for facile fabrication of nanofiltration membranes based on nucleophilic nature of polydopamine
Wang, Tunyu; Qiblawey, Hazim; Sivaniah, Easan; Mohammadian, Abdolmajid ( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)Novel methodology for facilely fabricating nanofiltration (NF) composite membrane has been successfully developed by employing nucleophilic nature of polydopamine (PDA) chemistry. The self-polymerized PDA coating over ... -
Photo-oxidative enhancement of polymeric molecular sieve membranes
Song, Qilei; Cao, Shuai; Zavala-Rivera, Paul; Ping Lu, Li; Li, Wei; Ji, Yan; Al-Muhtaseb, Shaheen A.; Cheetham, Anthony K.; Sivaniah, Easan... more authors ... less authors ( Nature Research , 2013 , Article)High-performance membranes are attractive for molecular-level separations in industrial-scale chemical, energy and environmental processes. The next-generation membranes for these processes are based on molecular sieving ... -
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
Song, Qilei; Nataraj, S. K.; Roussenova, Mina V.; Tan, Jin Chong; Hughes, David J.; Li, Wei; Bourgoin, Pierre; Alam, M. Ashraf; Cheetham, Anthony K.; Al-Muhtaseb, Shaheen A.; Sivaniah, Easan... more authors ... less authors ( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2012 , Article)As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...
