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

9813423-这项为期三年的奖项旨在支持美国和西班牙在纳米膜分子模拟方面的合作研究，获奖者包括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作用。这项研究的目标将导致在分子水平上更好地理解反渗透，这最终将有助于设计更有效的纳米膜。这位美国研究人员为这次合作带来了由半透膜限制的流体的分子动力学方法学方面的专业知识。西班牙从水动力体制向微观体制过渡的经验补充了这一点。该项目将是合作的，因为模拟和理论将在两个实验室进行，并将联合审查它们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开发领域。

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.
