Fluoropolymeric Membranes

Enables readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of fluoropolymeric membrane science and technology from a single resource
 
Fluoropolymeric Membranes: Fundamentals, Fabrication, and Applications comprehensively and systematically covers the basic science and technology of fluoropolymeric membranes, which have high mechanical strength and excellent chemical stability and thus have been employed for the last several decades as materials for membrane separation processes in a variety of applications.
 
Written by four highly qualified authors, Fluoropolymeric Membranes includes information on:
 
* Typical fluoropolymers like poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(tetrafluoroethylene), and poly(ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene)
* Structure and properties of fluoropolymeric membranes, and fabrication strategies of advanced fluoropolymeric membranes
* Fluoropolymeric membranes novel applications in chemical- and bio-separations, hybrid systems, energy, fuel cells, batteries, gas and air treatments, and more
* How fluoropolymeric membranes support common water treatment processes, such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, MBR membrane processes, and more
* New membrane operations such as membrane distillation, membrane crystallization, membrane emulsification, and membrane contactors
 
Providing complete coverage on the subject, Fluoropolymeric Membranes is an essential resource for polymer chemists, membrane scientists, process engineers, materials scientists, water chemists, environmental chemists, and chemists in industry.
