SAN-Based Block Polymers for Strong Isoporous Membranes

A dataset from 2026 by Adam Mann at Texas Data Repository Harvested Dataverse, supporting research on novel ultrafiltration membrane design. It focuses on a series of block polymers with constant molecular weight (Mn ≈ 115 kDa) and varying acrylonitrile content (0 to 40 mol%). The data provides insights into how polymer composition influences membrane strength, permeance, and rejection properties.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between acrylonitrile content and membrane mechanical strength based on the described polymer series.
• Analyzing the trade-off between membrane permeance and rejection performance based on the described balance altered by acrylonitrile.
• Studying the synthesis of block polymers via RAFT dispersion copolymerization as described for membrane fabrication.
• Investigating the role of chain entanglements and dipole-dipole interactions in enhancing membrane durability as suggested in the description.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a specific, novel research platform for designing ultrafiltration membranes.
• Description provides precise material parameters, including a molecular weight of approximately 115 kDa and acrylonitrile content ranging from 0 to 40 mol%.
• Data originates from a structured research effort comparing polymers with constant SAN fraction (75 wt.%).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
