Molecular Filtration in Nanotubule Membranes: Sorting Molecules on the Basis of Size and Chemistry.
Abstract
Membrane based chemical separations is an emerging field of research. This is because membrane-based separations are potentially less energy intensive and more cost effective than competing separation methods. Polymeric membranes that contain a collection of monodisperse gold nanotubules with molecular dimensions were used to filter molecules based on their difference in size. Also, we will discuss how these tubules can be modified with thiols to separate molecules based on differences in their chemical properties.
