Heated seawater is passed along the surface of a hydrophobic polymer membrane.
Using nanotechnology, engineers have the ability to create a much more durable polymer membrane, which addresses this problem.
Nanoscale polymer membranes are also much more efficient in ionic conductivity.
The heart of the system is a three-foot cylinder filled with a polymer membrane that allows oxygen to pass through more readily than nitrogen.
The electrolyte could be a polymer membrane.
In order for the chemical to release itself into the body, it must permeate and diffuse through the polymer membrane, according to the concentration gradient.
An amorphous, elastic polymer membrane can be altered to have a higher melting point.
Formic acid does not cross over the polymer membrane, so its efficiency can be higher than that of methanol.
They should have regular calibration checks and can be affected by residual water in the polymer membrane (hysteresis).
The system combines a proprietary polymer membrane and a solvent liquid that will not mix with water.
