| Course objective | Determination of the performance of membrane structures at the lowest limit of their size and examination of their application areas. Demonstration of nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, gas separation, and other membrane separation processes. In this context, discussion of the thermodynamics of the process, mimicry of nature, determination of the dimensional lower limits of devices using membranes of the smallest size (molecular motors, switches, wheels, etc.), lab-on-a-chip and sensors. Approaches to nanoscale water channels, frictionless surfaces and beyond. | |||||
