Sustainable and Advanced Membranes By Aqueous Phase Separation (SAMBA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Membranes play a critical role in the production of safe drinking water and in the treatment of human waste streams. However, membranes themselves are nearly always produced using costly, harmful and environmentally unfriendly aprotic solvents such as N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF), or dimethylacetamide (DMAC). This proposal describes a highly novel approach allowing the produ ...
