Mixed matrix membrane

Recent theoretical work by Sholl and coworkers has predicted that carbon nanotubes, if used as membranes, have the flux/selectivity properties that far exceed those of any other known inorganic or organic material. To verify this prediction, we have fabricated nano-composite membranes consisting of

The synthesis of novel nanostructured mixed matrix membranes is presented in this contribution. The concept is to embed a liquid in which eventually a carrier can be located, as microscopically small droplets in a polymeric matrix. Preparation of capsules by applying and modifying of traditional enc
