Synopsis

This book by an internationally recognized membrane scientist and inventor of membrane technology, covers the entire range of membrane systems, from artificial and synthetic membranes to real and INVIVO membrane systems. The purpose of this book is to unify the principles of diffusion and reaction which apply at the molecular level in synthetic and biological membrane systems. In attempting to synthesize the different subjects and ideas this book interrelates molecular kinetics, diffusion and thermodynamics with membrane (polymeric) microstructure and chemical/physical phenomena involved. The book brings together the conceptual understanding, analytical power and quantitative approaches needed to design more efficient and new types of membrane systems, for example, asymmetric enzyme membranes as biosensors. Models are presented and evaluated with applications to biocatalysis, bioreactors and other aspects of biotechnology, biomedicine and polymer science.

One of the highlights of the book is an important and timely chapter on recombinant cell reactors, which presents a complete description of the genetic control system (lac operon) and is stable functioning in a novel reactor configuration.
