One Line Description
The book is devoted to the science and applications of all kinds of polymer membrane separation processes, including reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, pervaporation, microfiltration, coupled and facilitated transport, membrane distillation, and zeolite and ceramic membranes.

Audience
The book is aimed at engineers, scientists and researchers in chemistry, biology, biomedicine, materials and polymer 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.

Description
Polymer membranes are widely used in many applications in industry and many different types of polymer-based membranes are available. It is therefore very desirable to collect the information in one volume so it is accessible and shared with all interested researchers. Thus, the book brings together the knowledge of scientists from industry and academia in 13 chapters and presents research results and applications of polymer membranes.
This valuable and unique reference is essentially an up-to-date record on the major findings and observations in the field of nanostructured polymer membranes and their applications.
Topics include:
Membrane technology and applications • polymer membranes for gas and vapor separation • membranes for wastewater treatment • polymer electrolyte membrane and methanol fuel cell • polymer membranes for water desalination and treatment • polymeric pervaporation membranes for organic-organic separation • biopolymer electrolytes for energy devices • phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole membranes as a promising electrolyte • membrane for high-temperature PEMFC • natural fibers in polymer membranes for energy applications • the potential interest in carbon nanoparticles for pervaporation polymeric membranes • mixed matrix membranes for nanofiltration application • fundamentals, applications and future prospects of the nanofiltration membrane technique.
