Robust Hydrophilic Nanoporous Membranes for Water Purification Applications

This research explores the development of innovative nanoporous membranes with hydrophilic channels, using a multifunctional ABC triblock terpolymer as a structure-directing agent through the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). Led by Dr. Monique Roerdink under the supervision of Marc Hillmyer at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, these membranes exhibit high porosity and a narrow pore size distribution, making them ideal candidates for water purification systems. Supported by UMN MRSEC, this work paves the way for advanced filtration technologies.

  1. Robust Hydrophilic Nanoporous Membranes Timothy P. Lodge, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, DMR 0212302 Principal Investigator Marc Hillmyer (IRG-1) Description and Significance Using the multifunctional ABC triblock terpolymer depicted as a structure directing agent in the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), Dr. Monique Roerdink, a postdoctoral research associate with Hillmyer, has prepared a new, mechanically robust nanoporous membrane containing hydrophilic channels. The high porosity and narrow pore size distribution in these membranes (SEM image shown) render them quite attractive for water purification applications. Supported by UMN MRSEC DMR 0212302 100 nm
