  • POROUS ORGANIC CAGES FOR QUANTUM SIEVING
    Publication number: 20220266197
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of preferentially sorbing, from a target mixture, one or more target substance(s) over one or more non-target substance(s). In particular, porous organic cages (POCs) may be deployed in the quantum sieving of mixtures of hydrogen isotopes to selectively sorb heavy hydrogen isotopes (e.g. diatomic deuterium) over lighter isotopes (diatomic protium).

  • TWO-DIMENSIONAL CARBON NITRIDE MATERIAL AND METHOD OF PREPARATION
    Publication number: 20170240422
    Abstract: Graphitic carbon nitride has been prepared and its structure confirmed by extensive characterization. This material has useful electronic, in particular semiconducting, properties. Crystalline thin films have been prepared. Synthesis may be carried out by condensation of unsaturated carbon- and nitrogen-containing compound(s) in inert solvent such as a salt melt, forming graphitic carbon nitride at a gas-liquid or solid-liquid interface.

  • Process for trapping and confining microorganisms in air using water-soluble polymers
    Patent number: 7384762
    Abstract: A process for trapping and confining microorganisms in air using water-soluble polymers is disclosed. The water-soluble polymers are readily soluble in water or a physiological diluent, have reasonable mechanical strength so that they can be transported without rupture, retain water and adhere to microorganisms. A process for the rapid and sensitive detection of microorganisms in air under aseptic conditions is also disclosed.
