Engineered Asymmetric Composite Membranes with Rectifying Properties

Asymmetric composite membranes with rectifying properties are developed by grafting pH‐stimulus‐responsive materials onto the top layer of the composite structure, which is prepared by two novel block copolymers using a phase‐separation technique. This engineered asymmetric composite membrane shows...

Description
Summary:Asymmetric composite membranes with rectifying properties are developed by grafting pH‐stimulus‐responsive materials onto the top layer of the composite structure, which is prepared by two novel block copolymers using a phase‐separation technique. This engineered asymmetric composite membrane shows potential applications in sensors, filtration, and nanofluidic devices.
