Abstract
A recent article in <i>Science</i> by Culp, Kumar, Gomez, and colleagues introduces a new approach to characterizing reverse osmosis thin film composite membranes to provide critical insights into understanding how polymer membrane microstructure affects water permeability. Such approaches offer a degree of microstructure characterization that has up until now been unavailable to the membrane science community. Combined with modeling of water diffusion coefficient in the polymer membrane itself, this effort has begun to answer decades-old questions about how polyamide reverse osmosis membranes function.
