Welcome to our website! Here you will find information on the research that we do here in the School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh on Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs) and porous molecular crystals. We will also include news on the latest PIMs activities from around the world.
PIMs News
Work by our research group has produced a new polymer with extraordinarily high gas permeability that may result in more efficient separation membranes for large-scale processes such… Read more
