Biomimetic aquaporin membranes coming of age (2015, background): “Over the last years many new designs for AQP laden filtration membranes have been reported (for earlier reviews see [12,13]), and opened up an exciting direction in separation membranes due to the high AQP water transport and excellent selectivity.”
Perspective on 3D printing of separation membranes and comparison to related unconventional fabrication techniques (2017, methodology): “In membrane separation techniques, issues such as mechanical strength, fouling, flux, and separation properties can potentially be improved via biomimicry.[72-74] To recreate natural structures, data obtained from computerized tomography and 3D scanners can be used to reconstruct nature’s architectu”
Recent advances in polymer and polymer composite membranes for reverse and forward osmosis processes (2016, methodology): “[27, 40, 271-273] Use of AQP in conjunction with polymersomes or liposomes may also potentially be a modification method to improve membrane separation performance, e.”
