The Roadless Traveled, 3D Printing of Micropatterned Anion Exchange Membranes
What do water desalinization facilities, flow batteries, pharmaceutical membrane filtration devices, and 3D printing have in common? Initially my answer was "not much" but it turns out that the commonality between all these highly impactful technologies is a "specialty membrane". A group of Material Scientist gurus in the Hickner lab at Penn State are 3D printing anionic membranes that could see application in a variety of technologies, including helping to make clean water. It is hard enough to custom formulate a resin that has moderately robust structural properties, believe me I have been working on this for many years, but the...
