Membranes in Poland

This large group of Polish membranologists was formed at Warsaw University of Technology in the last decade. The research is focused on preparation of new membrane and membrane devices, their use in industrial processes (in diary and food industries), modification of materials for biotechnological and medicine applications, or modeling of new membrane processes for removing of hazardous components.
