Porosity can be viewed as a profound concept that helps us to understand nature and create
advanced structures. There are some interesting examples in nature, such as hollow …

The intrinsic characteristics of a membrane process, ie efficiency and operational simplicity,
high selectivity and permeability for the transport of specific components, compatibility …

Block copolymers (BCPs) composed of two or more thermodynamically incompatible
homopolymers self‐assemble into periodic microdomains. Exposing self‐assembled BCPs …

We report on the fabrication and optical characterization of dense and ordered arrays of
metal nanoparticles. The metal arrays are produced by reducing metal salts in block …

To meet the increasing demand for patterning smaller feature sizes, a lithography technique
is required with the ability to pattern sub-20 nm features. While top-down photolithography is …

To prevent greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere, separations like CO2/CH4 and
CO2/N2 from natural gas, biogas, and flue gasses are crucial. Polymer membranes gained a …

Very thin film materials have emerged as a highly interesting and useful quasi 2D-state
functionality. They have given rise to numerous applications ranging from protective and …

Integrated nanopatterns were successfully obtained from a combination of high lateral
ordering of newly designed self-assembling fluorine-containing block copolymers and …

Three poly (ether-b-amide)(Pebax) membranes with different polyamide (PA) contents were
prepared to study CH 4/N 2 gas separation property. The increase in CH 4 and N 2 gas …

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) can exhibit unique electronic, magnetic, optical, and catalytic
properties. Highly ordered, dense arrays of non-close-packed, surface-supported metal NPs …
