Molecule and Ion Transport through Polymer Membranes

An accurate and up-to-date exploration of molecular and ionic transport phenomena through polymeric membranes

In Molecule and Ion Transport through Polymer Membranes, distinguished researcher Yong Soo Kang delivers an authoritative and organized resource about polymeric membrane technology. The book introduces the fundamentals of the transport phenomena of neutral molecules and ions as well as the underlying common principles between the two.

The author establishes a foundation for designing new polymeric materials using basic principles, like Fick’s law, and to introduce a variety of fundamental theories and concepts about polymer structure and permeation properties. Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to the underlying principles and experimental techniques necessary to study molecular and ionic transport processes
• Comprehensive explorations of the separation and transportation of small molecules and ions by membranes
• Practical discussions of the transport properties of neutral molecules and ions
• Complete treatments of fundamental principles and theories relevant to mass transport through polymeric membranes

Perfect for polymer chemists, process engineers, electrochemists, membrane scientists, and materials scientists, Molecule and Ion Transport through Polymer Membranes will also benefit mechanical and chemical engineers.
