Abstract

Polymeric membranes are a promising class of materials for catalysis applications. They offer a number of advantages over traditional inorganic membranes, including lower cost, easier fabrication, and better compatibility with biocatalysts. However, polymeric membranes are also more susceptible to chemical and thermal degradation, and they typically have lower permselectivity than inorganic membranes. In this chapter, we discuss the different types of polymeric membranes that are used for catalysis applications, and we review the recent advances in the development of new polymeric membranes with improved catalytic performance. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities for the use of polymeric membranes in catalysis applications.
