Improving Flow Distribution in Chromatographic and Related Adsorptive Processes

本论文的主要研究方向是发展分子印迹技术，在交联聚合物网络中为有机分子创造结合和催化位点。 术语分子印迹是指正在开发的能够合成高度结构化的膜和薄膜的化学技术。 这些材料随后可用于选择性地传输有机分子和其他基质通过它们。 分子印迹是一个迅速发展的领域，具有巨大的潜力，提供新的材料与应用在化学分离（如色谱），催化和化学传感。

The proposed research concerns the development of molecular imprinting techniques to create binding and cataylic sites for organic molecues in crosslinked polymer networks. The term molecular imprinting refers to chemical techniques being devevloped that enable the synthesis of highly structured membranes and thin films. These materials can subsequently be used to selectively transport organic molecules and other substrates through them. Molecular imprinting is a rapidly expanding field that holds significant potential for providing novel materials with applications in chemical separations(like chromatography) catalysis and chemical sensing.
