Polymer Membranes for Gas and Vapor Separation: Chemistry and Materials Science (ACS Symposium Series) - Hardcover

Benny D. Freeman, Associate Department Head of Chemical Engineering, North Carolina State University. Ingo Pinnau, Principal Scientist, Membrane Technology and Research, Inc.

"This book is based on the proceedings of the Chemistry and Materials Science of Synthetic Membranes Symposium in 1997, and includes contributions from scientists working in 18 different countries. It focuses on tailoring separation properties and control of porous membrane formation. An introductory chapter is followed by 22 articles discussing a range of topics including free volume in polymeric membrane materials, facilitated transport membranes, group contribution modeling of gas transport in polymeric membranes, and Indan-containing polymers for gas separation membranes."--SciTech Book News

"The 22 chapters of this volume complete one of two compilations derived from the September 1997 Chemistry and Materials Science of Synthetic Membranes symposium held in Las Vegas. The contributions include a summary of the fundamentals of gas separation using polymers and an overview of vapor- and gas-selective polymers that are used commercially. The overview is followed by descriptions of the chemistry and materials science associated with each of these classes of polymers, with the focus being on their structure--property relationships."--Journal of the American Chemical Society
