This workshop provides an overview of the entire field of membrane science, technology, and applications through measurements, and is therefore an excellent resource for novices with a technical background, as well as, seasoned veterans interested in broadening their scope (or having a refresher.) The workshop will provide a survey of the various physical and chemical properties of membranes (and membrane process characteristics) that are measured, and the equipment (instruments) and techniques used, along with their underlying principles. A mixture of classical, novel, and resource-intensive techniques are included. Syllabus topics include: materials and structures; gas and liquid phase transport; mechanical and physical metrology techniques; porometry; surface and chemical measurements; visualization and scattering techniques; and special topics illustrating emerging characterization approaches. The workshop will finish with an industrial perspective segment that features a few invited panelists who will comment on how their organizations use membrane characterization to advance (or maintain) their business objectives.
