Synthetic polymeric membranes, for

The u% of synthetic polymeric membranes for water purification is now an established technoli. Historically, this developn nt dates to the beginning of this century, when Zsigmondy and Bachmann prepared the first microporous membrane from cellulose esters. SimOar microfiltration membranes are now widely used in applications ranging fiom sterile filtration to fine particle removal. 

The editors beheve that this book is the first book exclusively dedicated on fuel cell membranes in which the experts of the field are brought together to review the development of polymeric membranes for PEFC in all their aspects. The book was written for engineers, scientists, professors, graduate students as well as general readers in universities, research institutions and industry who are engaged in R D of synthetic polymeric membranes for PEMFC. It is therefore the editors wish to contribute to the further development of PEMFC by showing the future directions in its R D.
