dc.description.abstractSoft materials are a class of materials including colloids, polymers, DNA, and proteins. Due to their organization on the mesoscopic length scales they exhibit a wide variety of properties such as self-assembly and response to external stimuli. This has led soft materials to be employed in a wide array of applications ranging from catalysis, electrochemistry, and membrane technologies. Ionic liquids and metal-organic framework are two distinct classes of hybrid organic-inorganic soft materials, that are well studied and used as filler materials for polymer membrane separation technologies. However, a current challenge is understanding how the interfacial chemistry between these filler materials and polymer impacts membrane structures and properties. In this dissertation, molecular chemistry is used to explore how mesoscopic properties give rise to those found in the bulk of ionic liquids and nanoscale metal-organic frameworks respectively.en_US
