Continuous flow synthesis of hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) was achieved within 5 minutes, 99% faster than a batch reaction, improving productivity rates by 32-fold. The kinetics also enhanced microporosity, increasing CO 2 /N selectivity 850%.
Stationary phases with precisely ordered morphology have the potential to drastically improve performance of chromatographic operations, both in analytical and preparative/industrial fields. The recent wave additive manufacturing, aka 3D printing, gives unprecedented ability fabricate such stationary experimentally prove theoretical principles beds. manufacture highly efficient columns is becoming a reality as printers become more affordable accessible, their resolution, speed, material...
3D printing offers the unprecedented ability to fabricate chromatography stationary phases with bespoke morphology as opposed traditional packed beds of spherical beads. The restricted range printable materials compatible is considered a setback for its industrial implementation. Recently, we proposed novel ink that exhibits favourable performance (printing time ∼100 mL/h, resolution ∼200 µm) and broadens possibilities applications thanks customisable surface chemistry. In this work, was...
Cellulose-based hydrogels were prepared by dissolving cellulose in aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH)/urea solutions and casting it into complex shapes the use of sacrificial templates followed thermal gelation solution. Both gelling temperatures used (40⁻80 °C), as well method heating either induction form a water bath hot press or radiation microwaves could be shown to have significant effect on compressive strength modulus hydrogels. Lower shorter times found result stronger stiffer gels....
Polypropylene (PP) capillary-channeled polymer (C-CP) fiber stationary phases are investigated for applications in HPLC. Specifically, the roles that size and shape, linear velocity, interstitial fraction, column inner diameter play separation efficiency were evaluated using a uracil butylparaben mixture eluted under isocratic conditions. Four types, having nominal diameters ranging from 30 to 65 μm, used 250 mm × 2.1 columns. Optimum flow characteristics, as judged by plate height...
Spray coating creates highly porous polymer films that enhance pure water permeance by 7-fold, overcoming the trade-off between poor desalination performances and sustainability offered using green solvents in membrane fabrication.
Microbial cell factories are an attractive alternative to produce high-value natural products using sustainable processes. However, product recovery is one of the main challenges reduce production cost and make these technologies economically interesting. In this work, new resins were formulated 3D print hydrophobic adsorbents for biologics from microbial cultivations. Benzyl methacrylate (BEMA) Butyl (BUMA) selected as functional monomers suitable adsorption compounds. Pore morphology was...
Abstract Recovery of antibodies with Protein A affinity chromatography columns has become the standard for biotechnology industry. Membrane not yet experienced extensive application due to lower capacity membrane supports compared chromatographic beads. In this work, new membranes endowed an interesting binding human IgG are studied in view their capturing step a monoclonal antibody production process. The have been extensively tested pure solutions and cell culture supernatant containing 1...
The design of miniaturized hemodialysis devices, such as wearable artificial kidneys, requires regeneration the dialysate stream to remove uremic toxins from water. Adsorption has potential capture molecules, but conventional adsorbents have low urea/water selectivity. In this work, we performed a comprehensive computational study 560 porous crystalline comprising mainly covalent organic frameworks (COFs), well some siliceous zeolites, metal (MOFs) and graphitic materials. An initial...
Abstract Three‐dimensional printing applications in separation science are currently limited by the lack of materials compatible with chromatographic operations and three‐dimensional technologies. In this work, we propose a new material for Digital Light Processing to fabricate functional ion exchange monoliths single step. Through copolymerization bifunctional monomer [2‐(acryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride, monolithic structures quaternary amine ligands were fabricated. The novel...
