Chapter 155: Reverse osmosis materials enter the era of diversification
To be honest, during the period of time in the research institute, Liu Feng has also been paying attention to the trends of his peers in reverse osmosis materials.
Even though he sent out dozens of papers at once, the overall trend of papers on reverse osmosis membrane materials for water treatment on the websites of natural chemistry and science is still on the decline.
Although there is still room for polyamide composites to brush papers, in the final analysis, even if the papers are issued, their results are still not as good as the 8 papers published by Liu Feng before, and the research of new materials and new routes is not an overnight thing, so the trend of reducing this entry still intuitively reflects the trend of the academic community.
At the same time, through the search of professional academic search engines, it can also be clearly found that the recent achievements of reverse osmosis membrane materials in the direction of water treatment are becoming more and more exhausted.
Of course, it is not excluded that major research institutions and companies have actually made certain achievements, but for greater ambitions, they have not published the phased results in their hands, and they are secretly holding back the big moves.
After all, large companies such as Dow, Toray and IDE are happy to work with Liu Feng when the cost of licensing patents is lower than the cost of violating the law, but they are clearly more keen to hold the patent rights in their own hands.
In fact, from the last meeting with Hiroichi Terauchi and Shagat and others, Liu Feng saw some clues.
Needless to say, the labs of these companies must be at full capacity, ready to seize the high ground of new material research.
I don't know if his carpet bombing results will stimulate the nerves of these companies and come up with some new material patents and other achievements in advance, if so, he will have to speed up!
Liu Feng thought secretly in his heart.
……
Graphene-like reverse osmosis membrane materials are actually a very potential direction, and as a potential direction, except for Professor Jeffrey Grossman and Liu Feng, there is never a shortage of competitors who take the same path.
In fact, as early as when graphene materials can be used as desalination reverse osmosis materials, some people have conducted research in this area.
There shouldn't be one on the Big Dipper, but at least, big companies like Dow, Toray, IDE, LG, etc., have definitely done similar research.
One of the chemists engaged in this research is Professor Kim Jong-hee of Nambangguo.
While Liu Feng was busy brushing up on physical data, he was also busy with the project at LG Materials Research Center.
However, he was not busy with the experiment, but with the preparation of the experiment.
About a month ago, the topic of the laboratory has been determined, starting with graphene oxide materials, to carry out research on graphene-like reverse osmosis materials.
I have to admit that this road is definitely not cost-effective at the beginning compared to polyamide composites, after all, graphene materials are too expensive, and the price of graphene materials of the same weight is almost comparable to gold!
But there is no doubt that this is indeed a promising research direction.
The proposal for his application for funding has already been submitted, and if nothing else, the results will be available in a few days, and as the head of scientific research and technology, what he needs to do now is to determine a more specific research direction and assign research tasks to the scientific research workers below.
However, at this moment, his doctoral student Li Mingbo, who was holding three brand-new journals, walked in from outside the laboratory with a constipated expression, and Kim Jong-hee also saw him smash his mouth, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.
Glaring at his student, Kim Jung-hee frowned slightly and asked.
"Is there something going on?"
Li Mingbo hesitated, but finally nodded.
"Professor...... It seems that our subject has already been studied, and it has already come to fruition. ”
Hearing this, Kim Jung-hee, who was sitting in the computer chair, almost didn't fall!
"What? What do you say? Someone has already produced results?"
I'm QNMLGB!
How can it be!
His project has not been fully applied, how can others produce results?
Li Mingbo smiled bitterly: "Professor, and people have not only made achievements on our subject, but also on other routes! This is the latest issue of the Nature, Science, and The Lancet Journal, please see for yourself!"
Snatching the latest issues of the magazines from Li Mingbo's hands, Kim Jong-hee spread out the periodicals on the table.
I spread out a nature magazine and studied the headlines and pictures carefully.
"Hmm, special issue, 16 new materials, Smecta!"
Kim Jong-hee's hands trembled in fright, and he looked at the catalog of natural chemistry in disbelief.
Then, holding back the trembling, he took a deep breath and continued to look at it.
"Shhh
For a long time, a shiver from the bottom of my heart was slowly released by Kim Jong-hee.
These 16 papers are all graphene-like materials, and they are all the research results of the same person!
- Liu Feng!
The guy who dried up and fished on polyamide composites not long ago!
That guy actually started making weapons of mass destruction again!
"Also, the other two won't be special issues for this guy!"
Kim Jong-hee couldn't believe it, but he had to think about this answer and muttered to himself.
"Professor, you're half right!"
Li Mingbo continued to smile bitterly.
"Science is also a special issue of Liu Feng's 16 papers, and the Lancet is not a special issue, but it also publishes 4 Liu Feng's papers, a total of 36 articles, divided into three directions, all of which are water treatment reverse osmosis membrane materials!"
Kim Jong-hee: ......
M's, Wicked!
Looking at the three magazines that were as thick as a mountain, for a moment, Kim Jong-hee was silent.
However, Mr. Lu Xun has a famous saying - silence, silence, if you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence.
Sure enough, his next performance perfectly explained that Mr. Lu Xun was not farting.
"Hahaha, hahaha, God help me, God help me!"
After a long silence, Kim Jong-hee suddenly burst out laughing.
Li Mingbo was taken aback.
Damn, the professor can't stand the stimulation and go crazy!
He was dumbfounded.
"Teach, Professor...... You, what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at that Liu Feng child, after all, he is young and vigorous, and he can't wait to publish a paper if he makes a new discovery, now it's okay, all of them have made wedding dresses for their peers!hahaha!"
Kim explained with a smile.
Li Mingbo looked confused: "Professor, I, why can't I understand?"
"That kid has researched 36 new materials, right?"
Kim Jong-hee casually covered the magazine, looking unfathomable.
"Yes!"
Li Mingbo nodded.
"But did you find any material in this that could be generalized?"
Kim Jong-hee continued to mention.
"It seems that there is no ......" Li Mingbo carefully recalled the specific information of these 36 materials, and indeed did not see any of them have the potential to be popularized on a large scale.
"I see! I understand! Teacher, the price is all about the price! Although these materials seem to have a very good treatment effect and are menacing, none of them are cheap, and even polyamide composite materials are inferior! In this way, Liu Feng's research will not only not cause a blow to us, but will be an opportunity for us! The research of reverse osmosis membrane materials is about to enter the era of diversified development!
Li Mingbo suddenly brightened.
"Teachable!"
Looking at his proud disciple's suddenly enlightened expression, Kim Zhengxi nodded with satisfaction.
