This SBIR Phase I project will develop bendable Ceramic Paper Membranes for various applications including oil and gas, automotive, food and beverage, biotech, and pharmaceutical. Bendable ceramic paper membranes possess ultrahigh packing density, excellent chemical and thermal stability, high filtration performance and low manufacture cost. Based on the success of the Phase I program, the Phase II project will fully develop and standardize Bendable Ceramic Membrane Technology and set up a foundation necessary for the large scale commercial manufacture of this innovative technologyBendable ceramic paper membrane technology will alter the landscape of membrane manufacturing by improving its economics, product performance, and breadth of applications. This will have a sweeping impact on dozens of industries that either currently rely on membrane technology or represent potential new markets for membranes as a result of this breakthrough. These industries include chemicals, gas and oil, automobiles, food, beverage, biotech, and pharmaceutics, and represent a global membrane separation market of potentially $15.1 billion by 2012. Further, given its potential applications in waste treatment, environmental protection, and green energy conversion and storage, this new membrane technology will have additional far-reaching societal benefits.

SBIR一期项目将开发可弯曲陶瓷纸膜，用于石油和天然气、汽车、食品和饮料、生物技术和制药等各种应用。可弯曲陶瓷纸膜具有超高的填充密度、优异的化学稳定性和热稳定性、高的过滤性能和低的制造成本。在一期项目成功的基础上，二期项目将全面开发和标准化可弯曲陶瓷膜技术，并为这一创新技术的大规模商业化生产奠定必要的基础。可弯曲陶瓷纸膜技术将通过提高其经济性、产品性能和应用范围，改变膜制造的格局。这将对目前依赖膜技术的数十个行业或由于这一突破而代表潜在的膜新市场产生全面影响。这些行业包括化工、天然气和石油、汽车、食品、饮料、生物技术和制药，到2012年，全球膜分离市场的潜在规模将达到151亿美元。此外，鉴于其在废物处理，环境保护和绿色能源转换和储存方面的潜在应用，这种新的膜技术将具有额外的深远的社会效益。
