2 The Art of Making Polymeric Membranes
2.6 Summary
Membranes, both polymeric and ceramic, play an important role in pharmaceutical and medical sciences and have a great future in many different directions of their appli-cations, such as artificial organs, drug delivery and others. Many other applications also seem to remain unexplored.
For each application, membranes for a desired performance are expected to be designed and manufactured. We still remain in the infant stage in this respect. Even though chemical and physical properties of the membrane, especially those of the membrane surface, are known to govern the membrane performance, they depend on the many parameters involved in membrane fabrication. Because of the complexity arising among those parameters, to make a desirable membrane for a particular aim is still considered to be an art, even several decades after the emergence of industrial membrane processes.
There is hence a strong urge in the membrane community to design and fabricate the membrane on a more rational basis. The authors strongly believe that all the studies on membrane transport, based on newly developed software, and membrane characteriza-tion using modern physical instruments, should be directed toward achieving this goal.
