| Abstract | NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Separating different kinds of molecules in a liquid or vapor stream lies at the heart of most industrial chemical processes. Traditional separations which boil and condense liquids to separate them are energy-intensive. Polymer membranes are increasingly used to perform these separations more efficiently. Membranes also find increasing applications in producing drinkable water from brackish or sea water, as well as in fuel cells and chemical batteries, which will play an im |
