Thin-film polymer membranes have been very effective for industrial-scale desalination of seawater, but have not been used ...

For swelling measurements, 0.2 g of polymer sample was generally used. Swelling kinetics Measurements of swelling kinetics were conducted following the above-mentioned procedures using THF as a ...

ResearchI work on characterizing the interactions between redox-active polymers and electrolyte. This involves looking at how the polymer microstructure changes as a function of swelling and ...

Multinetwork polymer gels with color-changing linkers sensitive to mechanical stimuli provide a solid platform to study the dynamics of solvent swelling, as shown by researchers from Tokyo Tech.

Advancements in Polymer Brush Technology. Polymer brushes are thin layers of polymer chains chemically tethered to a surface at one end, allowing them to extend into the surrounding environments.
