Dynamic electric field alignment of metal-organic framework micro- rods (2019)
Journal Article
Cheng, F., Young, A. J., Bouillard, J. G., Kemp, N. T., Guillet-Nicolas, R., Hall, C. H., …Chin, J. M. (2019). Dynamic electric field alignment of metal-organic framework micro- rods. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 141(33), 12989-12993. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.9b06320

Alignment of Metal Organic Framework (MOF) crystals has previously been performed via careful control of oriented MOF growth on substrates, as well as by dynamic magnetic alignment. We show here that microrod crystals of the MOF NU-1000 can also be d... Read More about Dynamic electric field alignment of metal-organic framework micro- rods.

Stereolithographic 3D printing of extrinsically self-healing composites (2019)
Journal Article
Sanders, P., Young, A. J., Qin, Y., Fancey, K. S., Reithofer, M. R., Guillet-Nicolas, R., …Chin, J. M. (2019). Stereolithographic 3D printing of extrinsically self-healing composites. Scientific reports, 9(1), Article 388. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-36828-9

We demonstrate for the first time the direct stereolithographic 3D printing of an extrinsically self-healing composite, comprised of commercial photocurable resin modified with anisole and PMMA-filled microcapsules. The composites demonstrate solvent... Read More about Stereolithographic 3D printing of extrinsically self-healing composites.

Magnetic control of MOF crystal orientation and alignment (2017)
Journal Article
Cheng, F., Marshall, E. S., Young, A. J., Robinson, P. J., Bouillard, J. S. G., Adawi, A. M., …Chin, J. M. (2017). Magnetic control of MOF crystal orientation and alignment. Chemistry: a European journal, 23(62), 15578-15582. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201703812

Most metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess anisotropic properties, the full exploitation of which necessitates a general strategy for the controllable orientation of such MOF crystals. Current methods largely rely upon layer-by-layer MOF epitaxy or... Read More about Magnetic control of MOF crystal orientation and alignment.

Non-close-packed breath figures via ion-partitioning-mediated self-assembly (2015)
Journal Article
Aw, J. E., Goh, G. T. W., Huang, S., Reithofer, M. R., Thong, A. Z., & Chin, J. M. (2015). Non-close-packed breath figures via ion-partitioning-mediated self-assembly. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 31(24), 6688-6694. https://doi.org/10.1021/la504656j

We report a one-step method of forming non-close-packed (NCP) pore arrays of micro- and sub-micropores using chloroform-based solutions of polystyrene acidified with hydrogen bromide for breath figure (BF) patterning. As BF patterning takes place, wa... Read More about Non-close-packed breath figures via ion-partitioning-mediated self-assembly.

CO2 capture by dry alkanolamines and an efficient microwave regeneration process (2015)
Journal Article
Yang, J., Tan, H. Y., Low, Q. X., Binks, B. P., & Chin, J. M. (2015). CO2 capture by dry alkanolamines and an efficient microwave regeneration process. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 3(12), 6440-6446. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4ta06273f

Removal of acidic gases such as H2S and CO2 is performed during the purification of raw natural gas, most commonly using amine gas treatment. However, this industrially entrenched method is limited by significant shortcomings including low operationa...
