The purpose of this book is to give a global vision of basic concepts, featured manufacturing approaches and potential applications where the control of pore size and shape and distribution can be decisive for the success of a membrane process. It describes how to manage materials on molecular to macro scale for achieving high-defined architectures on large scale, thus enabling one to reach new productivity/efficiency trade-off for several advanced applications.
The purpose of this book is to give a global vision of basic concepts, featured manufacturing approaches and potential applications where the control of pore size and shape and distribution can be decisive for the success of a membrane process. It describes how to manage materials on molecular to macro scale for achieving high-defined architectures on large scale, thus enabling one to reach new productivity/efficiency trade-off for several advanced applications.
The reader is encouraged to use this cross-disciplinary discussion for his own research or investment, thus stimulating reflections and new purposes, which may open new routes in using the membrane science in some expanding fields, including environment, energy, food and health. Advances and innovation are the central ideas of the book, providing a useful indication to solve current critical aspects and overcome existing bottlenecks in the extensive control of structural features of targeted membranes as well as in the potential scale up of developed and promising manufacturing techniques.
Through the book, the reader will have the opportunity to understand the advanced techniques dedicated to the preparation of membranes with defined pore structure, as well as about the capability of a membrane to separate molecular species depending on the free pathways throughout it. Specific topics covered in the book.
Pore concept in membranes and related separation mechanisms Advances in polymeric porous membranes by phase separation Supercritical fluid-assisted pore formation in polymeric films Copolymers assembled in porous nanostructures Colloids templates for porous structures Water droplets like pore builders for high-defined porous membranes Porous membranes via layer-by-layer Design of porous gels 2D porous films and promising applications Structure and function of ion channels in membranes Pore switch for smart membrane separations Porous membranes for pressure-driven membrane processes Reactors-like pores in membranes Role of pores in membrane contactors technologies Pore-like free volume in dense matrixes for selective gas separationAbout the Author: Annarosa Gugliuzza received her PhD in chemical science in 1999 and since 2001 is a senior researcher at the Institute of the Membrane Technology at the University of Calabria, Italy. She is a membrane technologist with interests in self-assembly technologies for the fabrication of nanocomposite functional membranes with very high levels of organization, structure, dynamics and associated properties, including super-hydrophobicity, super-hydrophilicity, self-cleaning, sensing, separation and catalysis.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
Overseas Delivery
Shipments to EU countries:
First Item @ £15.00 (sometimes a shipping supplement will be added for particularly heavy books)
2 Items & over @ £30.00 in total
A really, really important Brexit bit: From 1st January 2021 shipments to EU addresses may incur additional costs which could be requested by Fed Ex at the time of delivery. These costs may vary from country to country and are not within our control and will be in addition to the costs paid to us for your delivery. If in any doubt, please check with your local Fed Ex office what, if any, additional costs will be applicable to your order - https://www.fedex.com
From 1st July 2021, VAT will be applicable to those EU countries where VAT is applied to books - this additional charge will be collected by Fed Ex (or the Royal Mail) at the time of delivery.

All overseas orders are shipped using a 'signed for' courier service - please provide an address at which your parcel can be signed for on receipt. We use the same packaging materials for our overseas deliveries as we do those in the UK. In some cases, particularly large and heavy books, or books being shipped to remote areas, may incur an additional shipping charge - if this is the case with your order, we'll notify you as quickly as possible of these charges and to arrange the additional payment. You can of course cancel your order with an immediate refund should you not wish to accept these additional costs.
