TL;DR: This work investigates permeation through micrometer-thick laminates prepared by means of vacuum filtration of graphene oxide suspensions, which reveal that the GO membrane can attract a high concentration of small ions into the membrane, which may explain the fast ion transport.

TL;DR: A simple scalable method is demonstrated to obtain graphene-based membranes with limited swelling, which exhibit 97% rejection for NaCl and decrease exponentially with decreasing sieve size, but water transport is weakly affected.

TL;DR: In this article, coarse-grained potentials of polystyrene and ethylbenzene were optimized against the fully atomistic simulations until the radial distribution functions generated from coarsegrained simulations are consistent with atomistic simulation.

TL;DR: A detailed study of the transferability over different thermodynamic states of a coarse-grained (CG) force field developed using the iterative Boltzmann inversion method and finds that the polymer chain length does not affect the transferable of the force field and is attributed mainly to the finer model used in describing the polyamide-6,6 than the polystyrene.

TL;DR: Measurements of this interfacial pressure are reported by capturing pressure-sensitive molecules and studying their structural and conformational changes, and it is shown that this pressure can induce chemical reactions, and several trapped salts are found to react with water at room temperature, leading to two-dimensional crystals of the corresponding oxides.
