Abstract
A polymeric membrane system containing a polymeric membrane and a substrate with interstitial gaps. Polymeric membrane components reside within the interstitial gaps of the substrate and below the surface of the substrate. Also, the layer of polymeric membrane components is thinner than the cross-sectional thickness of the substrate.
Claims22
A polymeric membrane system comprising:
- a substrate containing a plurality of interstitial gaps, and
- a polymeric membrane comprised of polymeric membrane components residing within the interstitial gaps of the substrate and below the surface of the substrate, wherein the polymeric membrane components are thinner than the cross-sectional thickness of the substrate.
