There have been a wide range of strategies developed to tailor the microstructure and chemistry of composite membranes for improved separation properties. In this SPT® Distinguished International Lectureship on Separation and Purification Technology (iSPT 2022), Professor Wang will focus on the incorporation of a hydrophobic charged polymer, nanosheets or nanofibers into polymer membranes to improve their water flux in ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis processes. Professor Wang will then discuss our strategies for chemical functionalization of metal–organic framework-based membranes for chiral separation and highlight some challenges in developing this type of membranes for practical applications.
