  • Process of forming crosslinked copolymer film, crosslinked copolymer film formed thereby, and water purification membrane
    Patent number: 8163814
    Abstract: Azidoaryl-substituted cyclooctene monomers and synthesized and used in the preparation of various copolymers. Among these copolymers are those prepared from ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctene, polyethylene glycol-substituted cyclooctene, and azidoaryl-substituted cyclooctene. These copolymers are useful in the formation of crosslinked films that reduce fouling of water purification membranes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 2011
    Date of Patent: April 24, 2012
    Assignees: The University of Massachusetts, Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
    Inventors: Todd Shannon Emrick, Kurt Breitenkamp, Ravindra Revanur, Benny D. Freeman, Bryan McCloskey
