Membranes in Poland

In parallel to the membrane developments at WrUT and WPUT, Prof. A.Narebska created the largest center for evaluation of polymer properties that allowed to understand the performances of polymer membranes. Her attempts to find relationships between membrane structure and its properties were shown in organization of series of Workshops on Frontiers in Membrane Science and Technology and co-participation in the Tempus Project on Regional Courses on Membrane Processes. The work of prof. A.Narebska (retired in 1997) was continued by prof. J.Ceynowa (retired in 2009) and prof. R.Wodzki (retired in 2018).
