Non-porous membrane

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008045",
  "term": "Non-porous membrane",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of membrane that separates components based on their solubility and diffusivity within the membrane material, rather than by physical pore size. Transport across these membranes occurs through a solution-diffusion mechanism, where molecules dissolve into the membrane and then diffuse through it. These membranes are often used for gas separation and pervaporation processes.",
