Abstract:Water swollen polymer
networks are attractive for applications ranging from tissue regeneration to
water purification. For water purification, charged polymers provide excellent
ion separation properties. However, many ion exchange membranes (IEMs) are brittle,
necessitating the use of thick support materials that ultimately decrease throughput.
To this end, a series of double network
hydrogels (DNHs), synthesized with varied composition to decrease water content,
are examined as robust membrane materials for… Show more
