Absorption of hazardous liquids:
Hazardous liquids can be quickly absorbed and contained for transport to safe disposal. Aqueous solutions and polar solvents can be selectively absorbed from non polar liquids.
Environmental monitoring:
AEP hydrophilic compounds have been developed as transducers, taking advantage of the highly reproducible and reversible properties that make them ideal as the basis of a measuring system. Preloading with indicator can give a visual indication of the solute characteristics. Click here to download published paper by Lehigh University on AEP-based transducers
Leak detection: AEP hydrophilic materials provide a mechanical action on exposure to water that will remain reliable for many years without the need for external power.
