Polyvinylidene fluoride membranes with engineered porosity: role of temperature and substrate morphology in phase inversion processes

The first part of this project was inspired by the fascinating internal porosity of Polypore fungi, characterised by channel-like and micro-fibrous porosities, which create a highly efficient directional release system for their basidiospores.An initial analysis of their natural porous structures re...
