Journal ArticleDOI
Very Small Bandgap π-Conjugated Polymers with Extended Thienoquinoids
TL;DR: New π-conjugated polymers (PBTD4T and PBDTD4T) incorporating thienoquinoids 2,2'-bithiophene-5,5'-dione (BTD) and benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithyphene-2,6-dione(BDTD) as strong electron-deficient (acceptor) units are synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical Activity of Heteroaromatic Conjugated Polymer Films Prepared by Asymmetric Electrochemical Polymerization in Cholesteric Liquid Crystals: Structural Function for Chiral Induction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors electrochemically polymerized various achiral heteroaromatic monomers in left-handed helical cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) media, and the resulting conjugated polymer films exhibited both the first negative and second positive Cotton effects near their absorption maxima.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Selective Vertically Aligned Nanopores in Sustainably Derived Polymer Membranes by Molecular Templating
TL;DR: A combination of molecular templating and directed self-assembly to realize highly selective vertically aligned nanopores in polymer membranes using sustainably derived materials suggests that practical applications can be reasonably anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precise nanofiltration in a fouling-resistant self-assembled membrane with water-continuous transport pathways.
Xunda Feng,Xunda Feng,Qaboos Imran,Qaboos Imran,Yizhou Zhang,Lucas Sixdenier,Xinglin Lu,Gilad Kaufman,Uri R. Gabinet,Uri R. Gabinet,Kohsuke Kawabata,Menachem Elimelech,Chinedum O. Osuji,Chinedum O. Osuji +13 more
TL;DR: A novel approach is proposed and demonstrated that exploiting size-selective transport in the water-continuous medium of a nanostructured polymer templated from a self-assembled lyotropic H1 mesophase enables high-fidelity retention of the H1 structure on photoinduced cross-linking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating Selectivity and Separation Performance of Lamellar Two-Dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Membranes to Nanosheet Stacking Behavior.
Xinglin Lu,Uri R. Gabinet,Cody L. Ritt,Xunda Feng,Xunda Feng,Akshay Deshmukh,Kohsuke Kawabata,Kohsuke Kawabata,Masashi Kaneda,Sara M. Hashmi,Chinedum O. Osuji,Chinedum O. Osuji,Menachem Elimelech +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that developing a well-controlled fabrication process, in which the lamellar structure can be carefully tuned, is critical to achieving defect-free and highly-selective 2D desalination membranes.
