What we do

Our infographic provides a snapshot of the momentum across SynHiSel’s membrane research community – from energy and water to sustainable manufacturing and materials innovation. We’re proud of what we’ve been building together, and excited for what’s coming next.

Our SynHiSel programme is funded by EPSRC through a Programme Grant award running from February 2022 to January 2027. It builds on the SynFabFun award which made key advances in developing membranes with stable performance over time. For example, membranes for polymer-based gas separation, where ageing is minimised;  3D printed membranes for liquid separations with reduced fouling; and self-healing ceramic membranes which do not suffer from structural failing.

These developments paved the way to look at increasing the selectivity of membranes.
