Table 2 Comparison of 5 kinds of solid-state pores (POR1 to POR5) in terms of membrane chemistry, pore diameter (Φ) and pore morphology
From: Coacervate-pore complexes for selective molecular transport and dynamic reconfiguration
POR | Membrane | Φ | Pore morphology |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | PC, hydrophobic | 3 μm | dispersed, cylindrical |
2 | PC, hydrophobic | 50 nm | dispersed, cylindrical |
3 | PVA, hydrophilic | 5–20 μm | connected, sponge-like |
4 | PU, hydrophobic | 20–60 μm | connected, foam-like |
5 | PA, hydrophobic | 5–60 μm | space between fibers |
