    Review on polymeric membrane materials for gas separations which are stated above the Robeson’s trade-off upper bound
    (Elsevier, 2023) Vijesh, A.M.; Isloor, A.M.
    Membrane separation of gases is highly energy efficient and are widely accepted compared to other conventional gas separation methods. Membrane gas separation plays a vital role in the protection of our environment and ensures sustainable growth of industries. The compromise between permeability and selectivity as explained by the Robeson’s upper bound minimized the number of commercial gas separation membranes. It unveiled the tailoring of new materials in the design of superior membranes. This review chapter explores the recent developments of membrane materials for various gas/vapor separation applications. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Advances of membrane technology in wastewater treatment
    (Elsevier, 2024) Deepthi, P.V.; Viji, K.; Vijesh, A.M.; Isloor, A.M.; Kumar, V.
    Pure water scarcity is becoming a real threat to the modern world. Rapid growth in the textile, paper, and printing industries has caused the production of large quantities of dye effluents, and they must be treated before passing to the water bodies or lands to minimize pollution and environmental impacts. Polymeric membrane-based filtration has been established as an optimal and greener approach for removing hazardous dyes from polluted water. Superior thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties and convenient modifiability made polysulfone (PSF), polyethersulfone (PES), and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) ideal for the production of membranes for the treatment of dye effluents from industries. This chapter emphasizes the recent developments in modified PSF, PES, and PPSU membranes and their dye rejection properties. © 2025 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
