title = "Membrane set to make water purification more efficient and cheaper",
abstract = "Research work done at the University of Twente, in The Netherlands, which aimed to understand how different polyelectrolyte multilayers can be used to make hollow-fibre membranes, has resulted in the development of a {"}straw membrane{"} that removes micro-pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals residues, from drinking water. Furthermore, by making it possible to purify water in a single process step, it permits cheaper and more efficient water purification.",

note = "Funding Information: This work formed part of a major research platform established for the development of selective hollow-fibre membranes and was jointly funded by the European Union (EU) through the LbLBRANE research project. LbLBRANE focused on membrane technology for water treatment whilst tackling the common problem of membrane fouling. The approach studied is based on the concept of layer-by-layer deposition of polyelectrolytes on membrane surfaces. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2015 Elsevier Ltd.",
