Siyao’s work on PIM fabrics featured on Materials Today

 

Siyao’s work on development of highly adsorbing, breathable, mechanically robust fabrics that not only filter out harmful aerosol matter but also catalytically degrade chemical warfare agents was highlighted on Materials Today. This work, done is collaboration with the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Solider Center in Natick, focused on synthesis of electrospun fibrous mat of a polymer of intrinsic porosity (PIM), which possesses high surface area and interconnected pores that are able to adsorb toxic vapors.
