Prof. Kammakakam gave a talk at first ACS/RSC joint MENA conference 2024 in Qatar and discussed his MEET Lab research work at Nazarbayev University. His talk was entitled “Ionic Conversion of Contorted-rigid Polymeric Backbones: Extraordinary Membrane Promises Toward CO2/light Gas Separation Applications”.
Prof. Kammakakam started his talk by introducing the Chemistry Department and Nazarbayev University to the audience and discussed his group’s recent research on the ionic-mediated polymer design research for gas separation technology. A detailed investigation including MD simulation studies and other important gas separation characterization such as pure gas permeability, solubility, and diffusivity properties, as well as the ideal selectivities of Ionic-PIM membranes was focused on. Two simultaneous approaches to convert polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) into ionic backbones; a class of polymers having highly rigid contorted backbones and yielding excessive FFV elements in the history of polymeric membrane gas separation were discussed thoroughly in his talk.

Furthermore, Prof. Kammakakam had a direct meeting and foreseen a possible future international collaboration with highly renowned scientist from various parts of the world, especially with the Prof. Omar Farah (distinguished scientist of Metal Organic Frameworks, MOF) and Prof. Emily Pentzer (Editor-in-chief of RSC applied polymer journal).
