G R A P H I C A L A B S T R A C T A R T I C L E I N F O Keywords:Catalyst membrane Ionic liquid Palladium catalyst Plasmachemical functionalization A B S T R A C TAnisotropic palladium-poly(ionic liquid) catalyst membranes have been prepared by complexation of palladium (II) chloride to poly(ionic liquid) functionalised flexible porous substrates. The practical viability of these low loading (sub 0.1 mol%) palladium catalyst membranes for continuous flow reactions at ambient temperature is demonstrated for the Suzuki-Miyaura carbon-carbon coupling reaction by contacting the reactant mixture with the catalyst membrane and applying sonication. The Suzuki-Miyaura carbon-carbon coupling reaction proceeds at the palladium-poly(ionic liquid) catalyst membrane surface in conjunction with selective permeation (separation) of the desired product species through the underlying porous support. These palladium-poly(ionic liquid) catalyst membranes display minimal metal leaching enabling them to be reused multiple times.

ABSTRACTClick thiol-ene chemistry is demonstrated for the reaction of thiol containing molecules with surface alkene bonds during electrical discharge activation. This plasmachemical reaction mechanism is shown to be two-fold for allyl mercaptan (an alkene and thiol group containing precursor), comprising self-crosslinked nanolayer deposition in tandem with interfacial crosslinking to the surface alkene bonds of a polyisoprene base layer. A synergistic multilayer structure is attained which displays high wet electrical barrier performance during immersion in water.4

Thuja plicata is a coniferous tree which displays remarkable water channelling properties. In this article, an easily fabricated mesh inspired by the hierarchical macro surface structure of Thuja plicata branchlets is described which emulates this efficient water collection behaviour. The key parameters are shown to be the pore size, pore angle, mesh rotation, tilt angle (branch droop) and layering (branch overlap). Envisaged societal applications include water harvesting and low cost breathable architecture for developing countries.
