In recent years, aquaporin biomimetic membranes (ABMs) for water purification have raised considerable interest. These membranes display uniquely favorable properties and outstanding performances, such as diverse interactions, varied selective transport mechanisms, superior stability, high resistance to membrane fouling, and distinct adaptability. Biomimetic membranes would make a significant contribution to alleviate water stress, environmental threats, and energy consumption UR - https://www.intechopen.com/books/biomimetic-and-bioinspired-membranes-for-new-frontiers-in-sustainable-water-treatment-technology UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/42282 ER -
