With this application in mind, we created spirocyclic polymers with N-aryl bonds that demonstrated noninterconnected microporosity in the absence of ladder linkages. The resulting glassy polymer membranes demonstrated nonthermal membrane fractionation of light crude oil through a combination of class- and size-based “sorting” of molecules.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced that the use of an alkaline surfactant polymer (ASP) flooding technique has successfully improved oil recovery at a 106-year old Illinois field by more than 300%. Polymer is added to protect the chemical slug from early dissipation by the driving water phase. Such surfactants, when.

Researchers from Tsinghua University have developed what they call a “promising strategy” to tackle the intrinsic problems of lithium metal anodes for Lithium sulfur batteries—dendritic and mossy metal depositing on the anode during repeated cycles leading to serious safety concerns and low Coulombic efficiency.

Engineers at Arizona State University have engineered E. Between 1960 and 2006, estimated production ranged from a low of 1,740 million pounds in 1960 to a high of 11,897 million pounds in 2000. US consumption of styrene in 2006 was 9,600 million pounds, > 99% of which was consumed in the production of polymers and copolymers.
