Membrane properties

  • pore diameter adjustable from 700 nm to 20 µm
  • (pore diameter)/(pore distance) ratio from 0,33 to 0,45
  • standard deviation < 1%
  • flow-through membrane with symmetric pores
  • membranes with one-sided closed sack-like pores
  • pore depth of symmetric pores from several µm up to 200 µm
  • pore surface ratio adjustable from 39%
  • hexagonal and cubic pore order
  • chemically und thermally stable
  • functionalizable surface
