Polymer membranes with molecular-sized channels that assemble themselves

Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 12:30 in Physics & Chemistry

(PhysOrg.com) -- Many futurists envision a world in which polymer membranes with molecular-sized channels are used to capture carbon, produce solar-based fuels, or desalinating sea water, among many other functions. This will require methods by which such membranes can be readily fabricated in bulk quantities. A technique representing a significant first step down that road has now been successfully demonstrated.
