“…They also highlight the chemical nature of the groups forming the surface of free volume elements, identifying fluorine atoms as the dominant species.Molecular dynamics simulations are also applied by Karataraki et al [8] in their investigations on the interaction of water with conically shaped carbon nanoparticles. To increase the insight into the membrane-assisted separation processes in the liquid phase, their studies focus on the properties of the hydration shell of nanoparticles and on the behavior of water molecules in a nano-confined environment, a crucial aspect for the separation performances of membranes [9,10]. Thus, this work will help in the understanding of the extraordinary efficiency of biological porins [11,12].Macroscopic computational approaches are used by Valdés et al [13], who study fluid dynamics to investigate the behavior of supercritical CO 2 in hollow fiber membrane modules used as contactors.…”
