DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201907344
Abstract: Nonsolvent induced phase separation (NIPS) is the most common approach to produce polymeric membranes. Unfortunately, NIPS relies heavily on aprotic organic solvents like N-methyl-pyrrolidone. These solvents are unsustainable, repro-toxic for humans and are therefore becoming… read more here.
