    The Smith Lab currently focuses on the rational design, synthesis, and characterization of polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOF), and hybrid materials such as polymer-MOF mixed-matrix membranes (MMM). Our projects are targeted towards improving separation performance and stability as well as understanding the appropriate structure-property effec...

    Our materials research is tailored towards addressing large-scale and impactful issues across a variety of gas and liquid phase separations. 1. Carbon capture: 1.1. A major player in climate change is the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, specifically of CO2 in the flue gases of power plants. Membrane materials have the potential to ...

    The Smith Lab has the capability to fully characterize novel polymer and MOF materials using various in-house equipment and shared facilities on the MIT campus, including thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, etc. 1. Automated pure and m...
