title = "Highly permeable nanofibrous membranes for water purification",
abstract = "A series of highly permeable nanofibrous membranes have been developed for microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF). This new membrane system, composed of hierarchical fibrous structure with very different fiber diameters (from microns to nanometers), exhibited 2 to 10 times higher permeation flux than those of commercial membranes, while maintaining the same rejection rate for removal of contaminants (e.g. bacteria, viruses and oily emulsions). The new nanofibrous membrane concept may also form a platform for development of highly permeable nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes.",
