Membrane biomedical

The opportunities for biomedical membrane design and synthesis in the pol3q>hosphazene system are wide ranging. So far, only preliminary explorations have been undertaken, and only a brief outline will be given here.

Polymer network structure is important in describing the transport through biomedical membranes [139, 140]. The mechanism of diffusion in membranes may be that of pure diffusion or convective transport depending on the mesh size of the polymer network. With this in mind, polymer membranes are typically divided into three major types described below [141]. 

Transport in a microporous biomedical membrane is described in Fig. 11. Membranes consist of cylindrical liquid-filled pores of length l and radius rp with spherical solute molecules of radius rs diffusing through the pores. The solute...
