APPLICATIONS
Zeolites• Adsorption separations• Industrial catalytic processes• Ion exchange• Detergents• Gas storage
Polymers• Membrane separations• Packaging materials• Biomedical devices
Performance is governed by sorption and diffusion phenomena which depend on molecular-level structure and interactions.

Lower permeability of PEI is mainly due to its smaller segmental mobility. The latter is attributable to the different mode of connection of phenyl groups within the chains.

CONCLUSIONS• Molecular simulations are useful in
elucidating mechanisms and predicting rates of diffusion in separation materials.
• Molecular simulations aid in the interpretation of diffusion measurements.
• Broad spectra of length and time scales present in technologically important separation materials necessitate the development of hierarchical modelling and simulation approaches.
