Invited by the CAS Key Laboratory of Bio-inspired Materials and Interfacial Science and the TIPC Youth Forum, Dr. FU Qiang from University of Melbourne delivered a seminar entitled “Continuous assembly of a polymer on a metal-organic framework” at TIPC on May 14, 2019. 

Dr. FU’s research interests span from fundamental studies to applied sciences and encompass the fields of two-dimensional polymers, macromolecular engineering and self-assembly, membrane materials for separations and solid polymer electrolytes. During the seminar, Dr. FU started with the problem of the excessive CO₂ and pointed out that the membrane separation technology was considered as an economic and energy-saving alternative capture strategy. Then, he systematically introduced his researches on the three generations of CO₂ separation membrane. He developed the continuous assembly of polymers (CAP) technology for the membrane fabrication and greatly improved the performance of the membrane. Finally, he enthusiastically discussed with faculties and students of TIPC.
