Publisher's Synopsis
"Biological and Synthetic Membranes" provides state-of-the-art coverage of both kinds of membranes - ranging from structure to function to applications - and offers a long-needed initial step towards greater understanding of these two areas. This timely volume is a valuable compendium of recent research, with an emphasis on the synergistic relationship of investigations in both types of membranes. The work will benefit academic and industrial membrane researchers, particularly those working in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, physiology, biophysics, and chemical engineeering.
