RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:

A design methodology for functional materials can promote the development of modern separation methods, which are important parts of techniques for sustainable development society, with the nature of saving energy, low-cost and environmental protection.  Membrane separation is one of the promising techniques. A model has been developed to calculate solvent permeation rate through the filling-type membrane, including rubbery and glassy polymeric filling-type membranes, without any adjustable parameters.

This membrane is composed of two materials: the porous substrate and the filling polymer, which fills the pores of the substrate. Thus, membrane solubility and the suppressing effect of membrane swelling can be independently controlled by choosing the filling polymer and porous substrate, respectively. When solvent solubility and diffusivity in the filling polymer and the swelling suppression effect of the substrate can be quantitatively estimated without any variable parameters, membrane materials and the mechanical strength of the substrate can be chosen simply by calculation. This constitutes the membrane design methodology. The same conceptual framework is expected to use in developing other functional polymer materials, and benefit for understanding membrane fouling mechanism in the future study.
