Hi Glenn from Texas University

today my topic the bathrooms separation
before I started my hobby I want

simple question raise your hand if
you don't care about our Earth's.

No one great no I want to immigrate to
Mars that's great what makes our earth so

unique is the abundant
presence of liquid water but

each year due to the catastrophic
disaster like peers

like explosion of chemical
plants the released oil Prudence

can cause a huge damage on the fish
water bird and local community

is the key to solve this challenge
it's called oil water separation.

Or water separation can also from many
occasion such as So fuel purification and

the enhanced oil recovery so here I
would like to introduce three types of

separating memory developing our
group based on with ability control.

So all hold will separate oil in the water
oil or water they don't like each other

they are you miserable fruits but
imprisons off the fact and they can form

very teeny tiny emotion drops which
make the separation challenging so

all our strategies based on control
the with ability makes the surface

super hydrophilic or super hydrophobic so
the membrane can selectively

allow one type of fluid to penetrate
whereas we can separate the outer time.

So the first example as we develop
a very simple straightforward and

cheap material so this is a few paper you
use for the future action we called it we.

Feel it called.

Alcohol and course.

Of course linking with we
can form a very low post.

Network structure and this structure
can separate oil water very easily and

this group this structure and
all the be very robust can

with different temperature so
we need a Ph And

also we studied sea flux through that
because no I want a separation if you

like NEC ninety nine point and I but
it's only penetrate to draw power right so

we want to see fifty member actually
how high flux so we found generally

speaking memory looks pretty good to
have high flux on a given condition but.

We do see a decrease in flux for
it so all to give you or

offer you an idea how
these separation works so

we have all year which was
by that we've read and I and

all the the water was die
with metal it will come up so

we just simply pulling this oil
water mixture in prison the for

there can we can actually
see only the blue liquid

which is the water penetrates
without any of the overall oils and

this proved the oil water
separation East very easy and

fast and
also this can be achieved quite nicely.

But sometimes single simply separating
oil and water is not enough for

you Mary mental occasion because with
the water sometimes they can contain heavy

metal ions they can contain
like aromatic dice so

by severing all your prudence
the hydrophilic Bruton's were steered

in the water face so what do we do
commercially people use a multiple

step like the first step is
using a few tradition we can

remove the oil prudence and the second
people you the ops all then remove the.

Heavy metal ions So we want to in can we
into police to process in one type in

the here or not considering both through
a sense of this time to be kind of

challenging because for the obvious
which can remove all of the Middle.

Of a solvent can easily fold or
being damaged by

the oil Prudence especially high risk or
spoilers those oils can pull or

active side of the of the other material
which makes the separation more efficient.

But luckily we did a lot of experiments
and we found that by all polymer based

up with organ which can be
engineered into super already for B.

So this material doesn't like oil
the oil we're forming a high contango so

you or later Experion we found.

More than five membrane can be
can be super all the full week so

it doesn't like always saw oil we're not.

Actually thought and

more importantly we we found this membrane
can remove we made alliance like a.

Lead and some aromatic prudence and so

we got the purify the water right so hard
to tell of the water used biocompatible

I asked my wife will know
the water is clean because

my wife got the mustard in environmental
engineering Her answer is simple and

straight for
you know to drink it and tell you.

I don't know what her otherwise or
told her but my the wiser Jonathan

he told me to not do that until
you published in the paper.

The other such a person we are told for
Peter this event not drinking or

consume any chemicals especially our
sample in the in the lab so instead of I

drew the water we used some beans growing
in the purify the water and we found.

Germination really very high almost one
hundred percent in the purify water

whereas if we treat the with
water directly with the beans

we found that only cumbersome
the being were germinate

we even compared our purify water with
the water of the on ice the water and

the growth rate is almost
consistent with the water.

We summarize our work here we
give out on the curious that

not only separate oil water but also
can remove the hydrophilic pollutants.

Let's take a break so why when I told my
friend I will go to at the land that my

friends say you should go to a quote
This may be the best in the world so

I said in this similar to my research OK
So Can anyone guess what is this animal.

Starfish yes does a star
fish Khalid this one.

Secret come up and other.

OK so we're answer after these like
finger human finger like in the water but

this is actually another starfish.

Where you caught a part of the stuff ish
go under certain conditions this can go

into another starfish this so-called
stuff or here in the nature so

why we study self healing because you
whistle water sometimes it can contain

very highly reactive chemicals like bleach
you know people using chlorine chemicals

in swimming pool when those highly
reactive chemicals in with the water

those chemicals can damage the pool
Merica structure in the members so

what we do do so we design a self healing
membrane based on self stumbling of two D.

Hardy excursions of memory after coding
these products in the surface we can

form your crystal face and we introduce
of healing agent in the act and

of course we are able to get us.

I'm sorry.

OK OK A lot of stuff.

OK where are we so
we are prepared in memory we first see so

with ability we found this is super.

For Big doesn't like water it
can separate oil in water and

it can pour in under different conditions
but more importantly we want to see if

we saw when we prepared the membrane
we found these hydro forby

the water drop which is forming
high contango be some memory

after damage with high highly
reactive species the surface become.

So the water was free so what fruit
would put the member that is a long

forty eight hours it will restore
it to provide for its survival for

busy after forty eight or so we get
through one hundred forty memory and

get and we can you into the intern so
for healing for Mongo times.

We try to understand
these phenomena by post.

So when the surface been damaged
we form a group or some hide or

Feeley group after a while are at
the protective healing agent we're mined

with on the surface to Tootie energy
a surface energy so we can restore.

The hydrophobic surface
I don't this is not

a very great example we found some
similarity with human bone so

feels like when the bomb is damaged
the bombs elsewhere also migrate on

the damaged part to post in cause and
release some protein so.

In summary we develop some

type of memory which can control easily
control of the surface chemistry.

And to achieve different
functionalities like low cost flight

we can remove multiple prudence and
self healing memories and

in the future we would like
to explore further we.

You may want to using different substrate
we want to explore the possibility

to suite with ability on the surface and
that and

I want to give special sense to
my otherwise or daughter and

my colleague and also my wife was or
she persuaded me to drink my son force.

Some grandma and I work in a question.
