Tuning the permselectivity of polymeric desalination membranes via control of polymer crystallite size

Increasing the selectivity of desalination membranes is of crucial importance for advancing membrane desalination technologies. Here the authors demonstrate a plasticizing-extracting process for tuning the permselectivity of polymeric membranes and achieving desired desalination performance.
