Processable microporous membranes: emerging platforms for separation technologies

crystallisation, solution processability, polymer-MOF hybridisation, and melt-processable MOF glasses-offer new pathways to mitigate long-standing challenges related to defect control, mechanical robustness and limited scalability. Taken together, these advances establish design principles and processing pathways for next-generation microporous membranes, and point toward practical opportunities for industrial implementation in gas separation, solvent nanofiltration, water purification, and energy-related processes.
