Achieving homogeneous dispersion of nanoporous fillers within membrane architectures remains a great challenge for mixed-matrix membrane (MMMs) technology. Imparting solution processability of nanoporous materials would help advance the development of MMMs for membrane-based gas separations. A mechanochemically assisted oxidative coupling polymerization strategy was used to create a new family of soluble nanoporous polymer networks. The solid-state ball-milling method affords inherent molecular weight control over polymer growth and therefore provides unexpected solubility for the resulting nanoporous frameworks. MMM-based CO /CH separation performance was significantly accelerated by these new soluble fillers. We anticipate this facile method will facilitate new possibilities for the rational design and synthesis of soluble nanoporous polymer networks and promote their applications in membrane-based gas separations.

Article Synopsis
- Aptasensors detect biomolecules by transforming the binding of specific target molecules with aptamers into measurable signals, helping in rapid biomolecule identification.
- The study compares different crosslinkers used for immobilizing aptamers, focusing on one homo-bifunctional and three hetero-bifunctional types, specifically for attaching the Ebola soluble Glycoprotein (sGP) binding DNA aptamer to surfaces.
- Results indicate that using hetero-bifunctional crosslinkers leads to more consistent sensing responses and higher aptamer densities compared to homo-bifunctional crosslinkers, which produced inconsistent responses and lower attachment efficiency.

Two-phase flow remains a significant challenge in the development of water-bearing shale gas, particularly regarding the flow of gases through clay minerals in such formations. Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation is investigated to research the two-phase flow of water (HO) and methane (CH) through Ca-montmorillonite (MMT) shale nanoslits. The results indicate that water molecules preferentially adsorb onto the surfaces of the Ca-MMT shale nanoslits, leading to the formation of water bridges within the nanoslits as water content increases.

Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) stands out as an energy-efficient and low-carbon footprint technology, currently reliant on polymeric membranes. With their exceptional chemical stability and tunable sieving properties, two-dimensional (2D) nanolaminate membranes present distinct advantages over conventional polymer-based membranes, attracting tremendous interest in the OSN community. Computational approaches for designing innovative 2D nanolaminates exhibit significant potential for the future of OSN technology.

Transport systems are developed to improve the solubility of the transported drug, increase its stability, enhance its pharmacological activity and target cancer while minimising side effects. In this work, nanoporous silica particles that can be functionalized and loaded with a large number of hydrophobic molecules are proposed. The designed system was modified with folic acid to target the folic acid receptors of cancer cells.
