Pemisahan dengan membran bekerja dengan driving force berupa perbedaan tekanan, perbedaan konsentrasi, perbedaan potensial kimia, dan perbedaan temperatur. Adanya perbedaan dalam aplikasi membran baik sebagai media pemisah maupun katalis maka bahan/material membran yang digunakan bervariasi termasuk pembuatan serta pabrikasinya. Ilmu bahan untuk membran juga berkembang pesat untuk menghasilkan berbagai jenis bahan dengan struktur dan fungsi yang berbeda.

Suatu bahan dapat dijadikan membran apabila tahan secara kimia (chemical resistant) baik terhadap umpan maupun media/cairan pencuci membran, stabil secara mekanik, stabil secara termal, memiliki permeabilitas dan selektifitas yang tinggi, dan stabil dalam pengoperasiannya.

Bahan dan jenis membran dapat berupa

1. Polimer sintetik seperti polypropylene, perfluoro polymers, elastomer, polyamides dan polisulphones  
2. Modifikasi produk/bahan alam -berbasis selulosa
3. Bahan lain termasuk senyawa anorganik, karbon, keramik, logam, serta membran cair

Tipe membran terbagi menjadi 2 macam membran yaitu membran simetrik (struktur ragam) dan membran Asimetrik (tak berseragam). Membran simetrik dapat berbentuk silinder saja, porous saja, maupun non porous saja. Sedangkan membran asimetrik tersusun atas lapisan aktif dan didukung oleh suatu support berpori atau sublayer, dapat berupa porous, porous with top layer, maupun komposit.

Pembuatan Membran Simetrik

1. Sintering/stretching : untuk pembuatan membran-membran mikropori

2. Casting : untuk pembuatan membran penukar ion dan membran untuk pervaporasi

3. Phase inversion dan etching : untuk membran berpori dan digunakan dalam mikrofiltrasi, ultrafiltrasi, dan

    dialysis

4. Extrusion : bahan yang diproduksi melalui metode ini berfungsi sebagai membran difusi seperti pada

    pemisahan gas dan pervaporasi

Pembuatan Membran Asimetrik

Membran Asimetrik diproduksi melalui proses inversi fasa (phase infersion) dari polimer tunggal atau yang berstruktur komposit. Inversi fasa mencakup struktur pori yang terbentuk akibat pengendapan dari larutan yang homogen. Lapisan pendukung pori yang mencapai ketebalan 0.2-0.5 mm dengan lapisan aktif, 1 micron. Biasanya digunakan dalam nanofiltration dan ultrafiltration. Pembuatan membran komposit melalui infersi fasa berbeda materi untuk lapisan aktif dan lapisan support. Membran komposit komposit banyak diaplikasikan pada membran-membran difusi seperti pada RO, pemisahan gas, dan pervaporasi.

Karakteristik Polimer

Dalam polimer sintetik beberapa karakteristiknya menentukan sifat fisik dan kimiawi yang mempengaruhi dalam aplikasi membran yakni:

1. Jumlah dan berat molekul dari unit pengulangan di dalam suatu polimer

2. Apakah polimer tersebut termasuk homopolimer atau co-polimer

3. Bagaimana monomer terikat: rantai random, copolimer blok dan grafted co-polimer

4. Apakah polimer linier bercabang atau saling terikat

5. Stereoisomer : isotactic (menghasilkan polimer kristalin), atactic  (menghasilkan polimer noncrystalin atau

    amporphous), dan syndiotactic. Kristalinitas mempunyai pengaruh atau efek utama pada permeabilitas

    dan membran polimer

6. Fleksibilitas rantai

7. Interaksi rantai

There were (and are) R.E.U. opportunities in many amazing locations; I looked and applied for R.E.U.'s in Alaska, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts (Harvard), New York (Cornell), California (Stanford), and many, many others! One of the most attractive locations, however, was the University of Cincinnati. Although I was excited by the possibility of traveling, if I stayed at UC I would be able to take classes without worrying about transferring credits. Also, I have found that the University of Cincinnati and the city of Cincinnati are fun places to be around!

There are several R.E.U. programs, all of which I believe are NSF funded, at the University of Cincinnati: one in chemistry, one in math, one in civil engineering, and one in membrane science, technology, and bioapplications. (I should also mention that there are other summer programs involving research, like WISE, Women in Science and Engineering, and SURF, Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship). The membrane science R.E.U. was my top choice as it appeared to deal closest with my major of chemical/materials engineering. I applied to it, and I was accepted into it (which meant I had to turn down some of the other REU opportunities).

I am now participating in the 10-week long program by working for Dr. Steckl in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I get to work with some great lab equipment (a fluorescence microscope, some microliter syringes, and a nice bit of technical software), and I have had the opportunity to learn a lot. The program also incorporates professional development and technical writing through seminars and writing assignments. The program is very well rounded, and it offers social events as well. One of the best aspects of the program may be the great friends I have made with the students from other universities (who come from the University of Texas, Notre Dame, UMass, etc.). I do not believe I can disclose much about the project I am currently working on because some aspects of it have not been published. The specific details are not too important, it is the experience and knowledge I am gaining now which will be useful in the future.

I guess I just want to say that I am having a great time, and I am becoming more of an engineer every day!

Was I ever wrong!

So far this year I have had the opportunity to go to California for an engineering competition, I have been accepted into a research program, I have been able to be involved in executive positions in a organizations, and I have had some very, very interesting classroom and lab experiences!

Starting in reverse order:

I am in many various honors classes, and the honors chemistry lab has had some particularly interesting experiments. For example, I recently collected water samples from the Ohio river and a lake near my house (Grand Lake St. Mary's). We then turned them in to be analyzed by a several hundred-thousand dollar octopole mass spectrometer. The results showed the distribution of elements within the water samples.
Last quarter we were able to design our own crystal growth experiment, too.
I had imagined that I would not be able to be involved in an executive position until later in my college career as well, but I was wrong in that area as well. I have had the opportunity to serve as secretary of Engineering Tribunal, the major student engineering body on campus, and I have been elected to positions in Engineering Tribunal and Engineering Ambassadors for next year. There have been opportunities to get involved and develop leadership skills. The opportunities are out there, they simply need to be sought after.

I am very excited for this upcoming summer. I will be participating in a Research Experience for

Undergraduates (REU) in membrane science at the University of Cincinnati. It is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and it is a multidisciplinary program. I want to eventually have a career in research, so being about get involved this early is amazing. It will also help my career and be a great time in general. I will probably have more blog entries on this subject in the near future.

My most recent topic of interest was my trip to California last week. I am a member of the Society for the Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering (SAMPE), and I worked with them on making a 2-foot bridge out of foam and carbon-fiber. We worked on it for the past several weeks after a planning period of a couple months. The testing was conducted at the national conference which happened to be in Long Beach, California this year. There was enough money to send the three people who were heavily involved in the project, so I was able to go for free. We all learned a lot about materials and materials construction. We also were able to sit in on some of the technical presentations. It was a very worthwhile trip. (And hey, I got to go to California and go the beach!).

To make a long story short... my freshman year has been a lot more interesting than I had anticipated! It is amazing what can happen if one simply tries to be involved!

ANALYSIS: This new program is an innovation from DoD's Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E), and since tomorrow I'll be at Ft. McNair for a two-day conference sponsored by DDR&E on Strategic Communications, I'll congratulate John Young and his staff for the good idea.

But the Post article falls short in two ways: one immediate (it leaves out key information about next year's program and the upcoming deadline!) and one longer-term (it ignores the overall context of federal support for R&D).  I'll fill in the blanks below.

I think the program is a really laudable one, with the stated goal "to provide faculty and staff scientists and engineers from U.S. accredited, degree-granting academic institutions with a career enhancing opportunity through their association with DoD while at the same time they are conducting unclassified basic research in critical areas of interest [and giving them the opportunity to] enhance their understanding of critical research needs and interact with DoD senior leaders. 

We do think great discoveries are likely."  William S. Rees Jr., deputy undersecretary of defense for laboratories and basic sciences, quoted by the Washington Post in announcing the 2008 fellowship recipients. 

While listing the 2008 fellows (from Cal Tech, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, Northwestern, Boston University, and Penn State), the article failed to mention that there are fast approaching deadlines for the 2009 fellowship program.  For next year's awards, due dates are June 25, 2008 for the required "Letter of Intent to Nominate" (from the faculty member's university), and July 11, 2008 for the "White Paper with supporting documentation."  If selected as a finalist, full proposals will be due on October 3 this fall, and awards announced next spring.  Full guidelines and background info, plus an FAQ, are available in the official DDR&E announcement here.

A couple of interesting notes about the announcement itself: It states that "DDR&E is especially interested in researchers who have not previously been involved in DoD programs" [my emphasis].  Also, while the announcement doesn't explicitly encourage non-U.S. citizens to apply, they are eligible.  In fact, in its inaugural competition this year, there was a little-noticed change in the criteria, summed up in a quiet revision published to the original announcement for the 2008 program

Section III (Change):
From: The Fellowship competition is open to U.S. citizens whose earned Ph.D. was awarded with the past 25 years. Applicants must be faculty or staff at an accredited, degree-granting educational institution.
To: The Fellowship competition is open to distinguished faculty scientists and engineers whose earned Ph.D. or equivalent degree was awarded after 31 December 1982. Applicants must be faculty or staff at an accredited, degree-granting U.S. educational institution."

So there was a switch from allowing only U.S. citizens, no matter whether their university was here or abroad, to now allowing U.S. or non-U.S. citizens employed by a U.S. educational institution.  I think that's a very valuable step.

What topics are allowed?  I think the breadth is fascinating: one of the first year's awards is for work in applied math and statistics, designed to incorporate social networks and other voluminous Internet data together with traditional scientific data for models in predictive analysis.  (Some details are in the Post article cited above, with awardee Carey Priebe of Johns Hopkins saying, "One of the big problems DoD has, as does the Washington Post, Google, and everyone else, is trying to understand all the stuff that is out there.")

The guidelines make clear the fellowships are for basic research, or "farsighted high-payoff research that provides the basis for technological progress," and the "areas of interest to DDR&E" come straight out of the 2007 Department of Defense Research & Engineering Strategic Plan.  Since DDR&E also oversees DARPA, and John Young acts as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for all of DoD, you can imagine those interests are pretty broad - the guidelines list the following:

(1) astronomy, astrophysics and space sciences; (2) atmospheric sciences and meteorology; (3) aviation science, astronautics; (4) behavioral and social sciences, including psychology, training; (5) biological and medical sciences, including biochemistry and biotechnology; (6) chemistry (physical, organic, polymer)and chemical engineering; (7) communications and networks; (Eight) computer and information sciences; (9) earth sciences and oceanography; (10) materials-functional materials, including electronic and bio-inspired materials, textiles, adhesives, etc.; (11) materials-structural materials, metallurgy, ceramics, refractory materials; (12) mathematics; (13) mechanical, industrial, electrical, civil, and marine engineering; (14) physics, including acoustics, fluid mechanics, optics, spectroscopy, nuclear physics, etc.; (15) propulsion, engines, and fuels; (16) robotics, science of autonomy; and (17) weapons and military sciences, countermeasures, including counter-WMD and counter-directed weapons science."

The context of the program in overall federal R&D spending is important to keep in mind: the amount is a pittance overall (up to $30 million total over five years for all the fellowships), and comes at a time when federal R&D funding has been flat for several years (in constant dollars) or even declining (in percentage of GDP).  The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) recently released their analysis of R&D in the FY 2009 federal budget, including this chart (left).

According to the AAAS, in 2009 "Defense R&D would continue to increase, and next year defense basic research in the physical sciences would share in the gains. Despite tough budget conditions, the overall federal investment in R&D would increase $4.9 billion or 3.5 percent to $147.4 billion, driven primarily by increases in development funding. The federal investment in basic and applied research would fall 0.3 percent to $57.3 billion in 2009."

One last contextual note from the AAAS analysis: "U.S. government research investment has so far failed to match the new realities ... and has also failed to match the competition. Asian nations are dramatically increasing their government research investments: both China and South Korea, for example, are boosting government research by 10 percent or more annually."

Now, overall R&D spending in the U.S., meaning government and private-sector investments combined, is up again this year, and I don't want to underestimate the efficiency and energy demonstrated by private-sector research and development in driving technology forward.  That's the premise behind my current work at Microsoft, after all - to make more of the company's $8 billion investment in R&D relevant for government early adopters.  Not everything has to be on the taxpayer's dime :-)

The law school here at University of Louisville is named after Louisville native and former US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. The opening quote in Free to Choose is from one of the cases that came before the High Court: Olmsted v. United States. In dissension he stated:

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficial. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greater dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."

There are some fundamental differences between the US and the rest of the world that truly makes this a wonderful place. I plan to devote several future posts to this discussion. I welcome feedback and dialogue with any readers out there.
