2008 Annual Meeting

Session: Mixed Matrix Membranes

Limitations encountered using conventional membrane materials are being overcome by blending organic and inorganic phases. This session invites papers on application of mixed matrix membranes for improved separations, as well for cross-cutting applications such as membrane reactors.
