Abstract

Molecular diffusion across semi-permeable biological membranes capitalizes on complex nanoscale transport mechanisms that enable high permeation rates and finely tuned control over the profile of permeating molecules. Synthetic materials have thus far been unable to match their biological counterparts. Overcoming this obstacle has the potential to significantly impact applications such as hemodialysis, drug delivery, and biomolecular purification. Fluid flow through carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been demonstrated to have enormous transport rates under a pressure driving force, yet comparatively little attention has been given to concentration driven transport.
