Abstract Development of unctional membranes that are capable of selectively recognizing
and transporting ions have key importance for the recovery and separation of specific icons …

Selective separation of monovalent cations from complex mixtures is an industrially relevant
procedure necessary for the recovery of many commodity materials, such as lithium from salt …

The specific interaction existing between crown ethers (CEs) and alkali metal ions serves a
dual purpose in both facilitating the selective ion transport across polymeric membranes and …

We report the synthesis and ion‐binding properties of four poly (crown‐ethers) displaying
either one or two crown‐ethers (15‐crown‐5 or 18‐crown‐6) on every third carbon …

Bilayer membranes that enhance the stability of the cell are essential for cell survival,
separating and protecting the interior of the cell from its external environment. Membrane …

Polymeric membranes that selectively control water and ion transport rates are critical to
various separation technologies addressing the Water-Energy Nexus. For example, highly …

We describe the synthesis of ionoselective polymers bearing different pendant crown ethers.
The synthesis was applied to various macrocycles. We discuss the influence of macrocyclic …

The present thesis deals with the use of ion-selective electrode (ISE) membranes to study
selective noncovalent binding, known also as molecular recognition. On the one hand …

Ion selectivity is a prerequisite for biological ion channels to fulfil their function in cellular
regulation and communication.[1] In biological ion channels protein subunits are precisely …
