Congratulations to Maruf

Congratulations to for his recent publication on  Journal of Membrane Science!

Maruf has published his recent work on patterning thin film composite membranes in Journal of Membrane Science. This paper, entitled "Fabrication and characterization of a surface-patterned thin film composite membrane” for the first time reports the fabrication of a submicron-patterned thin film composite membrane using a two-step fabrication process: 1) nanoimprinting a polyethersulfone support, and (2) forming a thin dense film atop the imprinted support via interfacial polymerization. This study provides an important perspective regarding the promise of surface patterning as an effective alternative to chemical modification for fouling mitigation in liquid-based separation membranes.
