Research topics from publications: Semi‐Interpenetrating Polymer Network Anion Exchange Membranes Based on Quaternized Polybenzoxazine and Poly(Vinyl Alcohol‐Co‐Ethylene) for Acid Recovery by Diffusion Dialysis. Representative work: Abstract Acid recovery from acidic waste is a pressing issue in current times. Chemical methods for recovery are not economically feasible and require significant energy input to save the environment. This study reported a semi‐interpenetrating polymer network (semi‐IPN) anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for acid recovery by diffusion dialysis with excellent dimensional stability, high oxidation stability, good acid dialysis coefficient (U H + ) and high separation factor (S). Semi‐IPN AEMs are prepared by ring‐open cross‐linked quaternized polybenzoxazine (AQBZ) with poly(vinyl alcohol‐co‐ethylene), where AQBZ is obtained by Mannich reaction and Menshutkin reaction. All four proportions of se
