Natural gas, having a significantly lower CO2 emission factor than oil and coal when
combusted, is accepted as an important transition fuel towards carbon net-zero society. To …

The aggravation of environmental problems such as water scarcity and air pollution has
called upon the need for a sustainable solution globally. Membrane technology, owing to its …

Glassy polyimide membranes are attractive for industrial applications in sour natural gas
purification. Unfortunately, the lack of fundamental understanding of relationships between …

Natural gas, as a very important source of energy and chemical feedstock, can be used in
place of coal to lower net carbon dioxide emissions. Membrane separation technology is an …

Plasticization is a well-understood drawback of polymer membranes in many applications;
however, recent studies have demonstrated surprising advantages of this phenomenon for …

Polymers below their glass transition temperature (T g) are non-equilibrium glasses
because excess free volume “frozen” between kinetically-restricted polymer chains slowly …

Membrane separation technology provides an effective alternative to mitigate the massive
carbon emission with high carbon capture productivity and efficiency. In the context of …

Polymer membranes represent an attractive platform for energy-efficient gas separation, but
they are known to suffer from plasticization during continuous gas-separation processes …

Abstract Mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), judiciously combining processability of polymer
and remarkable separation performance of nanofillers, have been extensive pursuits for …

Polymers are unarguably the most broadly used membrane materials for molecular
separations and beyond. Motivated by the commercial success of membrane‐based …
