Professor Giulio C. Sarti has provided outstanding contributions to the modelling of fluid
sorption and transport in polymeric materials, with a special eye on industrial applications …

Thermodynamics is the science of the interactions between energy and matter. It was
formalized in the late 19th century and remains an essential piece in solving many …

The separation and removal of CO 2 from its mixtures with CO is gaining increasing interest
due to the novel processes in which these two gases are mixed, such as the non-thermal …

We present a general theory of cooperativity in sorption isotherms that can be applied to
sorbent/gas and sorbent/solution isotherms and is valid even when sorbates dissolve into or …

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

CO 2 and CH 4 mixed-gas solubility was measured in 3, 3′-dihydroxy-4, 4′-diamino-
biphenyl (HAB) 2, 2′-bis-(3, 4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) …

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-based polymers are excellent stabilizers for food supplements
and pharmaceutical ingredients. However, they are highly hygroscopic. This study …

This contribution aims at an understanding, at a molecular scale, of the state of CO2
molecules absorbed in glassy poly (ether imide)(PEI). This issue has been challenged by …

The organic solvent reverse osmosis (OSRO) separation of alcohol-hydrocarbon mixtures
with Matrimid membranes is studied via experiment as well as modelling with dry glass …

Polymers like poly (vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate)(PVPVA) or hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) are commonly used as a matrix for amorphous …
