TL;DR: In this article, a simple solution-phase cross-linking process and electrospinning was proposed to overcome the instability of nanofibrous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in industrially important polar solvents.

TL;DR: The demand exists for separation of high-salinity solutions across various industries, especially in those high-pollution businesses which are urgently looking for high-throughput and precise solutions as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to fabricate an insoluble polyimide nanofibrous substrate by a sequential strategy involving electrospinning polyamic acid followed by a thermal imidization, which leads to 1-fold enhanced mechanical strength and higher solvent-resistance of substrate compared to the conventional phase inversion process.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes was obtained via coating a thin selective graphene oxide (GO) layer on top of the polyimide porous substrate (PI) which was cross-linked to improve the stability in polar solvents.

TL;DR: By replacing Lewis acids with Brønsted acids as catalysts, continuous flow synthesis of hypercross linked polymers is achieved within 10% of the time required for a typical batch reaction, precluding the need for lengthy reaction protocols to yield high-performance hypercrosslinked polymers for carbon capture.
