Polymer membranes are widely used in separation processes due to their versatility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. These membranes are designed to selectively allow certain molecules or ions to pass through while blocking others, making them ideal for applications like water filtration, gas separation, and dialysis. Polymer membranes can be tailored for specific separation tasks by adjusting factors such as pore size, chemical composition, and surface properties. Their applications range from purifying drinking water through reverse osmosis to separating gases in industrial processes. With ongoing advancements, polymer membranes continue to play a crucial role in improving the sustainability and performance of various separation technologies. The subject matter encompasses the synthesis of novel polymers and the functionalization of commercially available materials, with a particular focus on their use in the separation of chemical mixtures, including gases and enantiomeric mixtures. Methodologically, the work will encompass polymerization reactions, the introduction of functional groups into polymers, and the utilization of reactions employed in preparative organic synthesis. Our department is sufficiently flexible to allow the prospective candidate the opportunity to exercise their inventiveness.
