Abstract

A breakthrough technology on high-flux thin-film nanofibrous composite membranes has been developed at Stony Brook. This breakthrough technology is based on two new concepts of the membrane design, involving (1) the replacement of conventional flux-limited porous substrate layer with a high-flux functional nanofibrous scaffold, containing an asymmetric structure with interconnected void morphology, and (2) the creation of a very thin, strong and functional nanocomposite barrier layer, imbedded with interconnected and directed water channels. The new membrane format is applicable to all liquid filtration, forming a broad platform for applications to water purification, involving processes of ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), and forward osmosis (FO).
