Dual-template approach to hierarchically porous polymer membranes
Thomas J. F. Southern, Rachel C. Evans
Abstract
A dual-template approach is used to embed multilevel porosity into poly(ethersulfone) membranes prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation, leading to a 95% increase in permeability.
