The University of Florida (UF) has been awarded a $469,833 National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) project grant to develop two-dimensional (2D) polymer gas separation membranes with homogeneous size-sieving nanostructures and ultra-thin designs. The project aims to create new knowledge on how membrane features like nanopore size, chemistry, and shape affect gas transport through macrocycle-based membranes, enabling the design of improved membranes for clean energy and sustainability applications. The research will be integrated with STEM education curricula from K-12 through graduate levels, emphasizing how polymer engineering enables progress toward clean energy and sustainability in the United States. The award period is from August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2027.
