  • Poly(aryl ether) based polymers and associated gas separation membranes
    Patent number: 11891481
    Abstract: Compositions and methods related to the synthesis and application of poly(aryl ether)s are generally described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2024
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Timothy Manning Swager, Zachary Smith, Francesco Maria Benedetti, Sheng Guo
  • Porous compositions and related methods
    Patent number: 11472915
    Abstract: Porous compositions such as flexible polymers with side chain porosity are generally provided. In some embodiments, the composition comprises a flexible polymer backbone and a plurality of rigid side chains. In some embodiments, the rigid side chains form pores. In some embodiments, the rigid side chains may comprise two or more [2.2.2] bicyclic cores (e.g., formed by a ring opening metathesis polymerization. The compounds and methods described herein may be useful in various applications including, for example, gas separation.
