Synthetic Polymeric Membranes: Characterization by Atomic Force Microscopy (Springer Laboratory)

Researchers in polymeric membranes as well as R&D professionals will find this work an essential addition to the literature. It concentrates on the method recently developed to study the surfaces of synthetic polymeric membranes using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which is fast becoming a very important tool. Each chapter includes information on basic principles, commercial applications, an overview of current research and guidelines for future research.

From the reviews:

"This latest addition to the Springer Laboratory series provides a good overview of membrane technology and the application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in membrane characterization. It is easy to read ... . In summary, this book presents a good introduction to the field of membrane science and technology. It will be of interest to both academics and industrialists involved in the use of membranes in separation processes and will be particularly welcomed by experimentalists who wish to become involved in AFM."
