May 4, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm PDT
Free
- Abhishek Roy, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Geoffrey Geise, University of Virginia
- Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry
- 11am-12:30pm, Online via Zoom, Free, Registration required
What You Will Learn:
- Thin film polyamide chemistry
- Understanding polymer science parameters (morphology, chemical composition, topology, molecular weight) for RO membranes
- Overview of materials for next gen water purification membranes
- How thermodynamic factors influence salt transport in desalination membranes
- How polymer dynamics can be used to suppress salt transport and enhance the desalination performance of a membrane
