Manipulating interfacial polymerization for polymeric nanofilms of composite separation membranes

Composite separation membranes are essential in the fields of water treatment, mass concentration, purification, solvent exchange, gas separation, energy storage and conversion. The ability of composite membranes to selectively transport water, ions, solvents and other species is derived from their active layers with excellent selectivity, which are ultrathin polymeric nanofilms on supporting substrates. Hence, the fabrication and manipulation...
