👉 Membrane engineering is a specialized field focused on the design, synthesis, and modification of artificial or natural membranes to optimize their performance for specific applications. This involves tailoring the physical, chemical, and biological properties of membranes to enhance their selectivity, permeability, mechanical strength, and stability. Techniques range from chemical modification of polymer backbones to the incorporation of functional nanomaterials, creating membranes with tailored properties for water purification, gas separation, drug delivery, and biosensing. Membrane engineering leverages advances in materials science, nanotechnology, and biotechnology to develop innovative solutions for addressing global challenges in energy, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. By precisely controlling membrane architecture at the molecular level, researchers can create highly efficient and selective barriers that enable precise control over the transport of molecules and ions, leading to improved performance in a wide array of industrial and biomedical applications.
