Doped microporous hybrid silica membranes for gas separation [PDF]

, 2015
Hybrid silica (i.e., bis-triethoxysilylethane: BTESE) membranes doped with B, Ta or Nb were made through a sol–gel process. Triethyl borate, tantalum (V) ethoxide (TPE) and niobium (V) ethoxide (NPE) were selected as doping precursors.

Tough and Skin‐Free Porous Polyelectrolyte Complex Hydrogels via Salt‐Induced Aqueous Phase Separation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling counterion exchange rate during aqueous phase separation enables the formation of skin‐free, homogeneously porous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels by suppressing kinetically trapped skin layers and macrovoids. The resulting hydrogel networks exhibit exceptional toughness (∼15 MJ·m−3) and enable 3D (bio)printing and post‐functionalization ...
