A bibliometric study on biomimetic and bioinspired membranes for water filtration

Abstract Insights into the biological channels and synthetic pore-forming assemblies have elucidated many fundamental aspects of selective water and solute transport over the last few decades. This has led to the development of novel technologies with unique selectivity and permeability. In terms of...
