Membranes in Poland

Membrane activities in Lodz have been started in the Institute of Chemical Fibers. There, Prof. M.Kopa and Dr. J.Mertl made the first attempt to obtain polymer hollow-fibers for gas, VOC separations and for ultrafiltration. Today, the membrane laboratory is located at Lodz Technical University.
