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.
