Peter Martin Budd CBE is a British chemist and a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester.
[5] Budd has committed to a wide variety of sustainability activities in terms of industrial separations and membranes, including conducting lectures, developing new university courses for which he was also nominated for the Better World Award in Outstanding teaching and learning innovation in social responsibility (2020).
[8] In 2004, a research led by Prof. Budd and Prof. Neil McKeown first published a paper on Polymers of intrinsic microporosity, also commonly known as PIMs.
[9] One of the major polymers currently in the world, it is used in several applications including adsorption of organic vapours, adsorption of organic molecules from solutions, hydrogen storage and as solid state adsorbents for waste water treatment.
[14] A wide range of literature has been published by Prof. Budd on the synthesis, structural, property and application analysis of PIMs as well as other polymers and membranes.
