“…Due to their properties, such membranes can be used as model membranes for the development and confirmation of theoretical mass, heat transfer, liquid entry pressure, and fouling. Track-etched membranes also have a wide range of applications in the ultrafiltration and microfiltration of liquids and gases; in the analytical control of substances; and in the food and pharmaceutical industries, microelectronics, and other areas of science and industry [39]. Both symmetric and asymmetric small-pore track-etched membranes are widely employed to study the ionic transport phenomena in nanoscale volumes, to build nanofluidic devices, such as molecular sensors, pumps and gates, and logical elements [38], and to develop various new processes, such as electro-baromembrane ion separation [40].…”
