Prague Meetings on Macromolecules
61st meeting – 41st microsymposium
POLYMER MEMBRANES
PRAGUE, 16 – 19 JULY 2001
SCOPE
The Microsymposium will provide a forum for experts from academia and industry interested in science and technology of membranes both synthetic and natural. Emphasis is put on theoretical and experimental studies of the relation between the chemical composition, structure, and properties of polymer membranes. Special attention will be devoted to test methods for characterization of membranes and membrane processes.
TOPICS
1. Membrane formation
2. Membrane characterization
3. Mechanism of transport through membranes
4. Membrane application
5. New membrane processes
