thin-film composite membranes

Thin-film composite membranes are advanced materials used in filtration and separation processes, such as water purification and gas separation. They consist of multiple layers, with a very thin, selective top layer that allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others. This unique structure makes them highly efficient, enabling the removal of impurities from water or the separation of gases. Their lightweight and flexible design offers advantages in various applications, from industrial processes to environmental solutions, improving energy efficiency and sustainability in resource management.
