After several years of developing the theoretical ideas, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have validated multiple novel predictions about the fundamental mechanism of transport of ...
This study guides the discovery of sustainable high-performance polymer membranes for organic binary solvent separations. We focus on solvent diffusivity in polymers, a key factor in quantifying ...
In the present work, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cross-linked with sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) is used as a representative polymer to address this question. The presence of crosslinks in PVA-SSA results in ...
In materials science, the molecular weight of polymers is a key property that influences various physical characteristics. Previous studies have demonstrated that benchtop NMR can be used to determine ...
