3D printed MOF-based mixed matrix thin-film composite membranes
Sameh K. Elsaidi,Mayur Ostwal,Lingxiang Zhu,Ali K. Sekizkardes,Mona H. Mohamed,Mona H. Mohamed,Michael Gipple,Jeffrey R. McCutcheon,David G. Hopkinson +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D printed thin-film composite mixed-matrix membrane (TFCMMM) with a thickness of 2-3 μm was proposed. But the fabricated TFC MMMs showed poor CO2/N2 selectivity, which could be attributed to microscopic defects.
