SynFabFunFrom membrane material synthesis
to fabrication and function
SynFabFun
Our vision is to create membranes which do not suffer from ageing or fouling, and for which separation functionality is therefore maintained over time.
We will achieve this through a combination of the synthesis of new membrane materials and fabrication of novel membrane composites (polymeric, ceramic and hybrids), supported by new characterisation techniques.

Programme GrantEP/M01486X/11 April 2015 – 30 September 2020
Our ambition is to change the way the global membrane community perceives performance.
Through the demonstration of membranes with immortal performance, we seek to shift attention away from a race to achieve ever higher initial permeability, to creation of membranes with long term stable performance which are successful in industrial application.
