Membranes research focuses on the study of thin, selective barriers that separate different phases or environments. These membranes can be used in a wide range of applications, including water purification, gas separation, drug delivery, and energy production. Research in this area explores the development of new materials, the understanding of transport mechanisms, and the optimization of membrane processes for various industrial and environmental applications. Membranes can be made from a variety of materials, such as polymers, ceramics, and metals, and their properties can be tailored to achieve specific separation and transport properties. The goal of membranes research is to advance the field of membrane science and engineering to address various global challenges related to sustainability, pollution, and resource management.
