AFM Ring, a new hope for water filtration and treatment
The goal of the AFM Ring project is to obtain an ultrafiltration membrane with high permeability in order to minimise the time taken to purify the water to be treated.
The scientists are seeking to produce these ultrafiltration membranes from block copolymers. Using various processes, they have succeeded in obtaining an optimum membrane, which offers hope for numerous applications such as water treatment or the purification of pharmaceutical products... This report was produced and financed as part of the "Science Avec et Pour la Société" (SAPS) call for projects.
CNRS Images,
Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
