  • Patent number: 10561990
    Abstract: The invention relates to a combined method for gentle molecular surface functionalisation of the very thin, selectively-acting separating layer which preferably consists of aromatic polyamides, polyurethanes and/or polyureas, of thin-film composite membranes for reverse osmosis (hyperfiltration) and for nanofiltration, subsequently collectively termed water-filtration membranes, in order to achieve a passive antifouling effect without impairing the selectivity of the water-selective separating layer made of polyamides and the water-permeability of the membrane.

  • Publication number: 20160136332
    Abstract: A three-dimensional, porous structure made of fragments of a nanofibre web is provided. Furthermore, a method for the production of a three-dimensional, porous structure made of nanofibre web fragments is proposed. The three-dimensional, porous structure is used for example in medicine, preferably in regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the structure according to the invention made of fragments of a nanofibre web can be used for the treatment of tissue damage, for the immobilisation of biological cells, for the construction of biological tissue and as a biological filler in vitro and also in vivo.
