Molecular Modeling, A Tool for the Knowledge-Based Design of Polymer-Based Membrane Materials

This Part will be focused on the fundamentals and applications of membranes and membrane operations for separation at the molecular level. Both liquid (including organic solvents) and gaseous streams will be discussed. The book opens with a chapter on molecular modeling to highlight the powerful instruments for designing appropriate membrane materials with predicted properties. This is followed by a chapter on polymeric membranes that discusses the current achievements and challenges on membranes for molecular separation in liquid phase.
