Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Membranes comprising a single layer having a first microporous surface; a second microporous surface; and, a porous bulk between the first microporous surface and the second microporous surface, wherein the bulk comprises a first set of pores having outer rims, prepared by removing introduced dissolvable silica nanoparticles, the first set of pores having a first controlled pore size, and a second set of pores connecting the outer rims of the first set of pores, the second set of pores having a second controlled pore size, and a polymer matrix supporting the first set of pores, wherein the first controlled pore size is greater than the second controlled pore size, and wherein the first and/or second microporous surface comprises a neutrally charged, a negatively charged, or a positively charged, surface; filters including the membranes, and methods of making and using the membranes, are disclosed.
