pH Stable Membranes pH Stable Membranes In this paper we screen the potential of a variety of multifunctional amine / cyanuric chloride combinations for the formation of stable polyamine nanofiltration membranes, via interfacial polymerization. The resulting polymers do not contain the carbonyl group of an amide that is susceptible to nucleophilic attack, and hence are more stable at extreme pH. It is found that, due to the moderate reactivity of the cyanuric chloride, the amine precursor must have at least three reactive groups to allow the formation of thin selective membrane films.

In-situ imidization analysis in microscale thin films of an ester-type photosensitive polyimide for microelectronic packaging applications In-situ imidization analysis in microscale thin films of an ester-type photosensitive polyimide for microelectronic packaging applications A joint publication with colleagues from Dresden, in European Polymer Journal. The influence of the UV crosslinkable methacrylic functional group in the polymer side chain of an ester-type photosensitive polyimide on the thermal imidization reaction is investigated with various techniques. Our contribution is the Thermo-Ellipsometric Analysis (TEA).
A molecular characterization of hyper-cross-linked hybrid polyPOSS-imide networks A molecular characterization of hyper-cross-linked hybrid polyPOSS-imide networks A joint publication with Neyertz and Brown, in Computational Materials Science. This paper describes a detailed numerical molecular characterisation of hyper-crosslinked polyimide organic-inorganic materials, derived from the interfacial polymerisation reaction between a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and a dianhydride.
Three-dimensional porous hollow fibre copper electrodes for efficient and high-rate electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction Three-dimensional porous hollow fibre copper electrodes for efficient and high-rate electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction This Nature Communications paper describes the use of copper hollow fibers as electrode materials for the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. These electrodes allow for exceptionally high Faradeic efficiency, while the hydrogen evolution reaction is suppressed.
