June 27, 2024, 1 to 2 p.m.
In this talk, Prof. Galizia will present and discuss new generation spirocyclic molecularly mixed membranes for organic solvent separation, as well as gas separation, exhibiting almost unprecedented selectivity and long- term stability. Structural features associated to the membrane performance will be identified, and effective solutions to mitigate, if not eliminate, the shortcomings of conventional membrane materials will be highlighted. Scaling up of the newly synthesized membranes will be discussed as well.
