This work examines the subject of diffusion in polymers from a unified, hands-on point of view. The author describes important recent discoveries in membrane separation processes, and details related research on polymer sorption and diffusion, structure-property relationships for penetrant transport, and case studies with poly(ethylene terephthalate). This work yields a new understanding of small molecule transport processes, non-equilibrium molecular characterization of glassy polymers, carrier-supported enzymes and whole cells, biosensors, and bioreactor analysis and design. The first eight chapters address the core principles of diffusion in polymers and their application to membrane separations. The last three chapters extend these principles to practical applications in the field of bioprocesses. An internationally recognized expert, the author has won a DuPont Invention Award, and the Visiting Scientists Award of Japan. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Rutgers University.

In this book Dr Vieth treats the overall subject of diffusion in polymers from a unified hands-on point of view. His research foci on polymer sorption and diffusion, structure property relationships for penetrant transport in polymers, and case studies with poly(ethylene terephthalate), provide background as Vieth details important recent breakthroughs in membrane separation processes. His writing supports new understanding of small molecule transport processes in general, of non-equilibrium molecular characterization of glassy polymers, of carrier-supported enzymes and whole cells, of biosensors, and of bioreactor analysis and design.
Chemists, physicists, biologists; chemical, plastic, and pharmaceutical engineers; students and professors in chemistry, physics, plastics technology, pharmacy, and medicine
