The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $219,996 Project Grant to the University of Florida to develop new fundamental knowledge of membrane structures and performance. The project, which runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, will utilize synthetic chemistry, polymer science, and advanced characterization techniques to design and study "doubly segmented ionenes," a new type of polymer membrane material. The key objective is to develop a detailed understanding of gas transport and diffusion in these membranes across multiple length scales, which can enable tailoring membrane composition to maximize performance for energy-related gas separation applications. The research aligns with NSF's Engineering Directorate program (CFDA 47.041) to foster innovation and excellence in engineering.
