DESCRIPTION Hardbound. Membrane techniques provide a broad science and technology base with applications ranging from water purification to chemical/biomolecule synthesis, material recovery, medical devices, to nano-domain interaction- based sensors and highly selective separations. Comprising invited contributions from highly respected researchers in the field, this title aims to meet the demand for a comprehensive book containing advances in both synthetic and biofunctional/bimimetic membranes including non-invasive characterization to biomedical devices.

This refereed work covers topics ranging from membrane transport models, non-invasive characterization, functionalized materials, biomedical devices, to sensors and environmental applications.

The title is multidisciplinary in nature and highly valuable to scientists and engineers involved in separations/reactions, advanced biofunctional materials, contactor designs, and the field of membrane science an
