Membrane Materials and Processes
The vision of the research group Membrane Materials and Processes is to tailor materials chemistry and morphology to control polymer membrane and electrode functionality and performance for sustainable process applications involving water, gas, electrons or a combination of these.
Tailoring materials chemistry and morphology to control polymer membrane and electrode functionality and performance
Our aim is to understand, apply and optimize how materials chemistry and morphology determine and can be used to control mass, momentum and charge transport through polymer membrane and electrode interfaces. There is strong focus on elucidation chemistry, structure, property and performance relationships. The expertise of the group covers of a multidisciplinary knowledge chain ranging from molecule to process. It involves material synthesis and functionalization, molecular, geometric and morphological architecting and device and process design. This is combined with advanced physicochemical characterizations and process performance evaluations.

The MIC/e is your academic partner that makes academic knowledge better accessible by bridging the gap between fundamental research and industrial valorization of this knowledge.
Information for students
Education of students and researchers in the field of separation technology and more specifically membrane technology is one of the core activities of our group. As such we teach several Bachelor and Master courses, offer extensive opportunities for students that would like to do a Bachelor or Master assignment or an internship on membranes.
Our Facilities
Our group is fully operational with dedicated equipment in place for, among others, hollow fiber and flat sheet membrane production, for low and high pressure and low and high temperature gas and vapor separation, including hazardous minority components, gas sorption, membrane pore size and pore size distribution characterization, ultrafiltration, microfiltration and forward osmosis membrane characterization and filtration, Scanning Electron Microscopy including EDS, ion exchange membrane characterization.
