A drop of rubbing alcohol and office laminator provides a manufacturability boost for single atom thick membranes
Vanderbilt engineers used a drop of rubbing alcohol, an office laminator and creativity to develop scalable processes for manufacturing single atom thin membranes. Their membranes outperformed state-of-the-art dialysis commercial membranes and the approach is fully compatible with roll-to-roll manufacturing. Details of the imaginative experiment are recently published in the journal of the Royal Chemistry Society:... Read MoreMar 5, 2021
