Summary on Grant Application Form
We propose the most fundamental, ambitious and concerted multi-disciplinary investigation into understanding of synthesis

and performance of carbon capture materials (CCMs) yet attempted. We believe the findings from this study will mark a

major leap forward into understanding of manufacturing low cost and efficient CCMs with unique properties and

applications. A systematic investigation will be carried out to examine the performance of the molecularly imprinted

polymers (MIP) synthesized for CO2 capture through suspension polymerisation technique. This research involves the

application of a powerful set of complementary techniques to the study of synthesis and performance of prepared MIPs

comprising: HRSEM,TEM, XRD, adsorbing/desorbing rig, gas analyser. A substantially better understanding of the

synthesis process and performance of MIPs is likely to yield important economic benefits, e.g. better process control,

efficiency, improved reproducibility and the capacity to modify products for specific applications. Such a step forward to a

new level of understanding would open the way to innovative applications in both residential and industrial emission emitter

systems.
