  • Polymer Science and Applications
    In my laboratory, we are interested in understanding the structural and morphological development and manipulation of complex polymer systems during preparation and processing in real time. The focus of our research projects is the design, preparation, characterization and application of nanostructured soft condensed materials, such as fibers (one-dimensional orientation), films (two-dimensional orientation) and bulk material systems (three-dimensional orientation). My current research interests are mainly focused on the use of nanostructured materials for energy and water purification applications.
     

    NANOFIBROUS MEMBRANES FOR WATER PURIFICATION

    Our group is focusing on the use of nanofibrous membranes for water purification. The major innovation of our nanofiber technology is that membranes made of nanofiber materials (synthetic and natural) in the non-woven format have drastically improved the flux capacity (e.g. often with many times flux increase) and thereby permitting lower operating pressures but retaining their resistance to fouling. Better flux means less time to filter the same amount of water, which in turn decreases energy consumption and increases cost efficiency. Better resistance to fouling refers to the ability to avoid clogging of the membrane pores by foreign matter, such as oil, detergents, biomacromolecules and salts that can accumulate during the purification process. The fouling resistance of our filters requires additional considerations on chemical composition and surface modifications.
     

    NANOCELLULOSE TECHNOLOGY FOR WATER PURIFICATION

    Our recent work using inexpensive and environmentally friendly methods to extract nanocellulose from any biomass (wood and non-wood plants) has a far reaching impact to society. In specific, our team has developed a simple nitro-oxidation method to prepare carboxycellulose nanofibers directly from untreated biomass, where the method drastically decreased the consumption of electrical energy, chemicals and water.  Furthermore, the effluent obtained in this method can be efficaciously neutralized to produce nitrogen rich salts that could be used as plant fertilizer, thus enhancing the nexus of food, energy and water. As there is a vast amount of biomass sources (e.g. agriculture waste, weeds and shrubs) currently considered no value or low-valued, these natural cellulose-based materials can be an ideal resource for extracting effective water purification nanomaterials for a wide range of applications. This technology may be capable of eliminating common waterborne pathogens from drinking water in the developing world and off-the-grid communities with much lower cost.  
     

    STRUCTURE CHARACTERIZATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANES

    The molecular structures of polyamide barrier layers in reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, made by interfacial polymerization of aromatic monomers in immiscible solvents under different reaction and post-treatment conditions, are characterized by grazing incidence synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques.  Our recent results (a collaboration with Dr. Benjamin Ocko from BNL) indicate that the molecular backbone packing is consistent with two different aromatic molecular packing motifs (parallel and perpendicular) with preferential surface induced orientation. This finding suggests that the perpendicular, T-shaped, packing motif (5 Å spacing) might be associated with optimal membrane permeance, compared with the parallel packings (3.5 to 4.0 Å spacings).
