Multiblock Copolymers for Moisture Swing Direct Air Capture
Background Polysulfones have been increasingly studied in recent years as a class of thermoplastics with excellent strength and thermal stability used in nanofiltration, energy storage, and biochemical separation. Quaternary ammonium polymers are another class of materials that tend to have high conductivity and good ion exchange properties. Copolymers...

Membrane Contactor for Simultaneous Desalination and Co2 Removal From Seawater
Background To address the pressing issue of climate change resulting from excessive CO2 levels in our atmosphere, an array of innovative negative emission technologies must be scaled and implemented for carbon removal. Discussions concerning these technologies often surround Direct Air Capture (DAC); however, Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) is an exciting...

Zwitterion Anti-Scaling Membrane Coatings
Background Water reclamation for space flight applications (e.g., International Space Station (ISS)) requires complex engineering solutions to ensure maximum water recovery. Current vapor compression distillation (VCD) technologies are effective but produce highly concentrated brines and often cause scaling within a separation system. Scaling in water...

Bio-Based Polysulfones for a Renewable and Safer Alternative to Bisphenol A (BPA)
Background Bisphenol A (BPA)-based polysulfones are widely used for many commercial applications but has been reported as a human endocrine disruptor. Because BPA is produced from petroleum feedstocks, its use also presents environmental sustainability concerns. A renewable, safer alternative to BPA-based polysulfones is therefore necessary, particularly...
