Study of the Effect of the Incorporation of Bulky Groups in the Main Chain of Ionic Poly(imides) on Their Properties in Gas Transport

Polymeric membranes have gained considerable interest in both the scientific and industrial communities due to their wide range of applications. This technology has emerged as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative for gas separation. A polymeric material for gas separation applications must exhibit high permeability and selectivity for one of the components in the mixture. Therefore, the development of new materials with high performance in gas separation involves finding a balance between these two parameters.

Biodegradation of Textile Fabrics Info-Sheets

In this combined PDF of three info-sheets, discover a summary of the research and the key findings from the Design for Transformation (D4T) Initiative's collaboration with Leeds University in the U.K. to conduct a literature review of the existing research examining the biodegradability of textile fabrics including colorants and finishing chemistries. The individual info-sheets – along with other resources – can be found on the Biomimicry Institute's Resources page.
