Characteristics and performance of a "universal" membrane suitable for gas separation, pervaporation, and nanofiltration
Article Abstract:
The performance of a given membrane in gas separation, nanofiltration and pervaporation is found to be interplay between the thickness of the top layer, steric hindrance during transport and is indirectly determined by effects of hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity. The results have shown that multifunctional membranes would rapidly gain importance in view of the flexibility of processes and the robustness of the separation.

Influence of the structural properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) membranes on the heterogeneous nucleation rate of protein crystals
Article Abstract:
The influence of the morphological parameters of microporous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes on the heterogeneous nucleation rate of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) crystals is investigated. It is revealed that measurements performed during crystallization tests carried out at pH 4.5 in NaAc 0.05 M buffer with different precipitant (NaCl) concentrations agree with the predicted trends.

Determination of parameters affecting transport in polymeric membranes: parallels between pervaporation and nanofiltration
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the differences on structure and transport mechanisms of nanofiltration (NF) and pervaporation (PV) membranes by measuring water and ethanol fluxes and raffinose rejections, water and ethanol fluxes and water/ethanol-n-propanol separation factors, and gas and vapor (water, ethanol) permeance with the same membrane sequence.
