Membrane Technology's Importance and Classifications

摘要

A membrane is a selective barrier that allows several objects through but stops others. These could be molecules, ions, or other small particles. Membranes are divided into two types: Synthetic Membranes (SM) and Biological Membranes (BM). Biological Membranes (BM) include cell membranes (the outer coverings of cells or organisms that allow specific elements to pass through), Nuclear Membranes (NM) (which cover the nucleus of a cell), and Tissue Membranes (TM) such as mucosal membranes and serosae. Humans have developed synthetic membranes used for laboratories and industry (such as chemical plants).
