Highlights from the article: The invention of the first asymmetric thin polymeric membrane by Sidney Loeb and Srivasa Sourirajan in the mid-1950s was the most important scientific breakthrough in membrane history because this membrane achieved significantly higher flux than that of previously-tested membranes, which were homogenous (or symmetric). Polymeric membranes are currently dominating the membrane market due to their extensive use in industrial sectors, particularly water & wastewater separation, food & beverage process and pharmaceutical & medical application. 1 Nthunya LN, Gutierrez L, Derese S, Nxumalo EN, Verliefde AR, Mamba BB et al., A review of nanoparticle-enhanced membrane distillation membranes: membrane synthesis and applications in water treatment.
