These membranes are usually prepared using interfacial polymerization. Hydrophobic diamine and water-soluble chloride salt precursor are reacted to form a thin polyamide (PA) separation layer on a porous support [1]. The PA cross-linking density has a...

Title of Document: HETEROPHASE STEP-GROWTH POLYMERIZATION IN A CONTINUOUS TUBULAR REACTOR Woo Jic Yang, Master of Science, 2013 Directed By: Professor Kyu Yong Choi Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering The interfacial process is a well-established industrial process for the production of Bisphenol A polycarbonates. However, there is a dearth of kinetic analyses of the interfacial...

Pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries are actively implementing membrane nanofiltration modules in their processes to separate valuable products recover solvents. Interfacial polymerization (IP) is the most widely used method produce thin-film composite membranes for reverse osmosis processes. Although considered green environmentally friendly, fabrication has still be further developed...

Two types of rod-coil block copolymers including poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (P3HT-b-PEG) and PEG-block-polyaniline (PANI) were synthesized using Grignard metathesis polymerization, Suzuki coupling, and interfacial polymerization. Afterward, two types of single crystals were grown by self-seeding methodology to investigate the coily and rod blocks in grafted brushes and o...
