Synthetic Polymeric
Membranes
Characterization by Atomic Force Microscopy

First book which combines both fields AFM and Synthetic Membranes
Will provide a very useful guide to the readers who wish to enter the subject
of the book
Gives details of AFM experimental methods and interpretation of
experimental data
Tis book concentrates on atomic force microscopy (AFM), a method recently - veloped to study
the surfaces of synthetic polymeric membranes. AFM is becoming a very important tool for the
characterization of synthetic polymeric membranes. Te development of membranes of improved
Springer performance depends on the exact kn- ledge of the morphology of a thin selective layer that
exists at the surface of the m- brane. Te control of the morphology of the selective layer is

edition twen- ?ve years, AFM has ?rmly established its position as a method to characterize the
membrane surface. Each chapter of this book includes information on basic principles,
commercial applications, current research, and guidelines for future research. Each chapter is
