Analytical and Finite Element Modeling of Nanomembranes for Miniaturized, Continuous Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis involves large, periodic treatment doses using large-area membranes. If the permeability of dialysis membranes could be increased, it would reduce the necessary dialyzer size and could enable a wearable device that administers a continuous, low dose treatment of chronic kidney disease....
