Future hollow fibre membranes and industrial gas separation

5 Future hollow fibre membranes and industrial gas separation 

With this in mind, new better polymerie hollow fibre membranes are still needed that have unique combinations of mechanical toughness, high modulus, thermo-oxidative and hydrolytic stability, resistance to organic solvents and retention of physical properties at very high temperatures up to 250 °C. The challenge continues.
