    About this ebook

    Stimuli Responsive Polymeric Membranes: Smart Polymeric Membranes explains the fundamentals and advances in topics relating to the field of membrane science. It elaborately explains concepts relating to stimuli responsive membranes, with special importance given down to minute details. Material selection, preparation, characterization and applications of various stimuli responsive membranes are extensively addressed, and their relevance (including examples) is included.

    The book covers history and development, merits and demerits, mechanisms of transport and fouling, applicability of membranes to various diverse areas, and preparation and characterization techniques of membranes. Next, the concept of fouling and its remedial actions is discussed. Finally, promising fields of research in the membrane science and future perspectives of membrane science field are explored.

    • Provides basic and advanced knowledge of smart membranes, considering their morphological, physicochemical and separation characteristics
    • Written in a clear and lucid style, keeping a diverse audience in mind
    • Based on the state-of-art research of the authors

    Mihir Kumar Purkait

    Dr. Mihir Kumar Purkait is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Assam, India. His current research activities are focused in four distinct areas viz. i) advanced separation technologies, ii) waste to energy, iii) smart materials for various applications, and iv) process intensification. In each of the area, his goal is to synthesis stimuli responsive materials and to develop a more fundamental understanding of the factors governing the performance of the chemical and biochemical processes. He has more than 20 years of experience in academics and research and published more than 300 papers in different reputed journals (Citation: >16,000, h-index = 74, i-10 index = 193). He has 12 patents and completed 43 sponsored and consultancy projects from various funding agencies.

      Mussel-inspired Material Is Elastic—but Rigid, Too

      Sep 10, 2018

      Rigidity and elasticity are usually at opposite ends of the continuum. You can have one, but not the other. Now, scientists have taken a step closer to a material that has both. Typically, the more elastic a material, the less able it is to bear load
