Defect-free membranes

15 August 2023

Host Faculty: Engineering

General Subject Area: Chemical and Process Engineering

Project Level: PhD

HOW TO APPLY
Defect-free membranes

Membrane separation processes require less operating and have lower capital costs than most other separation processes. However, the membrane materials required for some of these processes don't exist! One major obstacle is processing potential membrane materials into defect-free layers. This project explores up to five approaches for producing defect-free membranes with the aim of creating a generalizable strategy.
