Porous membranes are intended on separation of larger molecules such as solid colloidal particles, large biomolecules ( proteins, DNA, RNA ) and cells from the filtering media.
22.
We seem always to be slipping through some porous membrane, back and forth between semipublic and semiprivate space, as if no fixed boundaries divide environment from self.
23.
The liquid-infused film is achieved by locking a liquid lubricant in a porous membrane through the delicate control of wetting properties of the liquid and solid phases.
24.
The technique has been used to separate isotopic mixtures, such as uranium, using porous membranes, It has also been successfully demonstrated for use in hydrogen production from water.
25.
With translucent glass and veil-like metal facades, the architects treat walls as porous membranes between public and private space . ( STORY CAN END HERE . OPTIONAL MATERIAL FOLLOWS .)
26.
Lung-on-a-chip The device consists of three hollow microchannels, and only the middle channel contains a horizontal porous membrane, coated on either side by either an endothelium or an epithelium tissue.
27.
Conversely, one could define a potential corresponding to pH as a potential difference between a solute and pH neutral water, separated by porous membrane ( that is permeable to hydrogen ions ).
28.
Methods to determine the porosity of porous membranes have also been found via permporometry, making use of differing vapour pressures to characterise the pore size and pore size distribution within the membrane.
29.
These predecessors of true cells are assumed to have behaved more like a superorganism rather than individual structures, where the porous membranes would house molecules which would leak out and enter other protocells.
30.
Separator materials in lithium ion batteries must have the ability to transport ions through their porous membranes while maintaining a physical separation between the anode and cathode materials in order to prevent short-circuiting.
