This book addresses the reader to use synergistically the concepts of membranes and sensors materials. It contains insightful contributions from leading scientists working in both the fields. The focus is on the fabrication of smart membranes from sensor materials and related impact on many technologically sophisticated areas such as telemedicine, microfluidics, drug delivery targeting, (bio)separation, labs-on-a-chip, textiles, power storage and release, environment monitoring, agro-food safety, cosmetics, architecture, automotive and so on.This book covers various topics, including the choice of materials and techniques for assembling responsive membranes with ability to transport mass, energy and signals on demand; the reader will find through the book an extensive description of the best techniques used to monitor molecular scale events, which are regarded as responsible for the smartness of multifunctional objects and for the conversion of chemical signals into optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical responses.The reader is encouraged to use this cross-disciplinary discussion for his own research. Chemical, biological and physical concepts, expressed through the book, contribute to form a common language, which will allow the reader to discover causes for reflection and innovation, measuring how smart objects with desired properties can be tailored from exiting materials and used flexibly for different developed applications.Specifically: This book deals with materials smartness and suitable techniques to assemble and characterize them in sensor-like membranes.This book shows how ultra-smart functional devices can be accomplished by using traditional raw materials.This book describes particular key events, which control 'sense to react and adapt' mechanisms.The potential of sensor-like membranes in some key strategic fields is examined with particular emphasis on biomedicine, food and textiles markets. The benefits arising from the use of smart membranes are analysed in terms of life quality, safety, and innovation.

The book is essential for anyone seeking a deep understanding of porous membranes, as it offers valuable insights into manufacturing methods, innovative applications, and strategies for optimizing membrane design to meet critical project demands across various fields. Porous Membranes: Breakthroughs in Manufacturing and Applications is a comprehensive guide to discovering the world of porous membranes and their applications. This volume gives a global perspective of basic concepts, featuring manufacturing approaches and potential applications where control of pore size and shape, and distribution can be decisive for the success of a membrane process. In-depth explanations elaborate on the key role assigned to a membrane’s pores in directing events that are crucial for the mandatory targets imposed by a project’s requirements. Further, discussions on how to manage and characterize materials from a molecular to macro scale to achieve highly defined architecture to enable high-performing separations are explored. Advances and innovation are central themes, providing useful solutions to current critical aspects and existing bottlenecks in the control of structural and chemical features of targeted membranes. This cross-disciplinary discussion opens new routes for membrane science in expanding fields, including water management, environmental remediation, recovery of targeted compounds, food, and health. Readers will find this book: Introduces the strict relationship between extensively ordered porous membranes and enhanced productivity;Explores new approaches based on new membrane pore concepts;Emphasizes the feasibility and reliability of the proposed techniques within the context of a potential scale-up, analyzing critical issues and traits;Focuses on the role of porous membranes in some strategic membrane operations, providing clear evidence about the fundamental role of structure-separation properties for the success of membrane processes dedicated to natural resource management.Audience Researchers in chemistry, biology, biomedicine, materials science, textiles, and electronics who are involved with membranes and materials; technologists and product managers from industry, including those responsible for research and development, building prototypes and commercial devices, will find this book to be especially valuable.

A membrane is considered the heart of every separation process because it is developed as a nanostructured/nanofunctionalized thin barrier that controls the exchange between two phases, not only by external forces and under the effect of fluid properties, but also through the intrinsic characteristics of the membrane material itself. This book compiles cutting-edge research in membrane science, nanomaterials, and nanotechnologies, mainly from interdisciplinary research groups at the Institute on Membrane Technology, National Research Council (ITM-CNR), Italy, working on membrane design, membrane process engineering, and selected materials and practices for enhanced transport mass, charge, and energy. It covers topics on the design of new nanostructured membranes with improved properties, together with the identification of efficient transport–property relationships. It shares and strengthens the knowledge of making membrane technology a much more powerful and eco-friendly route, enabling one to provide prospective solutions and benefits for numerous fields of applications where traditional separation technologies suffer from many deficiencies. It is a great reference for researchers and investigators; graduate, PhD, and postgraduate students; and end users interested in membrane science and technology, nanomaterials, eco-friendly separation, chemistry, biology, and process engineering.
