Method for producing a biomimetic membrane, biomimetic membrane and uses thereof

摘要

Process for preparing a biomimetic membrane (10). Process for preparing a biomimetic membrane (10) comprises: (1) depositing on at least one major surface of a plate (A), made of a micromachineable material (MMM), a layer (B) of one or more strata, each of MMM; (2) cutting one or more transverse holes through (B), each hole having a wall (21), made of (B), and a base (22), made of (A); (3) depositing a layer (C), also of MMM, on layer (B), (21) and (22), to connect (21) and (22); (4) removing (C) from the surface of (B), from the center of the hole and from the surface of (A), but leaving residual (C) on the walls so as to define a pore (24), where the walls are of (C) and the base of (A); and (5) releasing at least that part of (B) in which the pores are formed by (partial) removal of (A). An Independent claim is also included for a biomimetic membrane having one or more transverse pores (24) composed of two different MMM; one forming the walls of the pores and the other the remainder of the membrane.
