Postgraduate Researchers:
Nadezda Prochukhan (from September 2019)Development of novel polymer membranes via phase inversion on a purpose-built casting rig.
Preparation of novel hybrid materials such as chitosan-PMMA composites etc.
Functionalisation of polymer membranes with silanes and potentially chiral moieties such as biomolecules. This is to allow phase separation by chemical affinity as well as size.
Optimisation of pore structure and size for specific biomolecule filtration.
Improvement of tensile strength and rigidity under filtration conditions.Publications:Daniel K. Kehoe, Luis Romeral, Ross Lundy, Michael A. Morris, Michael G. Lyons, Yurii K.
