Patent Pending Polymeric membranes lead the membrane separation industry market because they are very competitive in performance and economics.[3] Many polymers are available, but the choice of membrane polymer is not a trivial task. A polymer has to have appropriate characteristics for the intended application.[4] The polymer sometimes has to offer a low binding affinity for separated molecules (as in the case of biotechnology applications), and has to withstand the harsh cleaning conditions. It has to be compatible with chosen membrane fabrication technology.
