Dr. Freeman's research program explores the relationship between polymer structure, processing and properties. More specifically, they study the effect of polymer structure and superstructure on the solubility, diffusivity, and permeability of small molecules in polymers and polymer-based materials.
Current projects include:
Reverse-Selective Gas Separation Membrane Materials
Nanocomposite Membranes for Gas Separations
Improving the Chemical Resistance of Membranes for Natural Gas Purification
Polymer Brushes to Control Membrane Fouling in Water Purification Applications
Enzymatic Composite Membranes for Water Purification
Catalytically Active Polymer Membranes for High Barrier Packaging
