  • Non-woven elastic microporous membranes
    Publication number: 20020124953
    Abstract: A breathable net-shape microporous membrane structure is created by forming a polymeric solution and electrostatically spinning polymeric fibers from the solution into a microporous membrane structure. The average fiber size ranges from about 0.1 microns to about 1 micron and the average pore size ranges from about 0.4 to about 3.0 microns.

  • Apparatus and method for determining transport properties of porous materials
    Patent number: 6119506
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the mass transport properties of pos materials. The apparatus is a permeation or diffusion cell that comprises two outer portions with longitudinal channels therein, two clamping plates with openings therein, two flow inlets and two flow outlets in fluid communication with such outer portion channels, which cell retains a sample of porous material during measurement procedures. In one embodiment, the apparatus is configured for measuring pure diffusion transport properties of the sample of porous material. In another embodiment, the apparatus is configured for measuring the diffusion and convection transport properties of the sample of porous material. In a further embodiment, the apparatus is configured for measuring the pure convection transport properties of the sample of porous material.
