U.S.-Spain Cooperative Research: Molecular Simulations of Nanomembranes

9813423 Murad这个为期三年的奖项，以支持美国-西班牙纳米膜分子模拟的合作研究涉及芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的Sohail Murad和马德里大学的Eduardo Enciso。 他们将使用计算机模拟来研究气体和液体溶液中的反渗透。 该研究的目标将导致在分子水平上更好地理解反渗透，这将最终有助于设计更有效的纳米膜。 美国研究人员带来了这种合作的专业知识，在方法的分子动力学的流体所限制的半透膜。 西班牙在从流体力学制度向微观制度过渡方面的经验对此作了补充。 该项目将在两个实验室进行模拟和理论方面进行合作，并将共同审查其独立的分子动力学研究，以确定进一步模拟的必要性和新的发展领域。

9813423MuradThis three-year award in support of U.S.-Spain collaborative research in molecular simulations of nanomembranes involves Sohail Murad at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Eduardo Enciso at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. They will use computer simulations to study reverse osmosis in gaseous and liquid solutions. The goal of the research will lead to a better understanding of reverse osmosis at the molecular level, that will ultimately aid in the design of more efficient nanomembranes. The US investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in the methodology of molecular dynamics of fluids confined by semi-permeable membranes. This is complemented by the Spanish experience in the transition from the hydrodynamic regime to the microscopic regime. The project will be cooperative in that simulation and theory will be carried out at both laboratories, and their independent molecular dynamics studies will be reviewed jointly to determine the need for further simulations and new areas for development.
