NAWI Research Director Meagan Mauter and her colleague authored an article for ACT ES&T Engineering that introduces the use of comparative infrared microscopy for directly measuring membrane thermal conductivity in highly porous membrane materials. Their measurements confirm that membrane morphology plays a significant role in effective membrane thermal conductivity and suggest that morphology can guide the selection of theoretical models for approximating membrane thermal conductivity when direct measurements are not possible.
