Nowadays polymer ion-track membranes are used for a wide range of practical applications, which include various levels of filtration (micro-, ultra-, nanofiltration and osmosis), the creation of flexible electronic circuits and sensors based on polymer substrate, and using as templates for shape-controlled nanostructures synthesis. New applications demand clear understanding of the processes that occur during track membranes formation. For high-precision control of the end-product parameters, it is necessary to establish the correlation between etching conditions and track membranes characteristics (pores dimensions, porosity and membranes thicknesses). For this purpose, in the paper it is considered the technique of membranes formation with 10 nm -10 μm cylindrical pores and correlation between their parameters and processing modes is studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
