Carbon nanomembranes are the topic of the new ‘research_tv’ film. The membranes are only seven nanometres thick. In future, they could be used as both filters and protective layers. Credit: Bielefeld University
Physicists are producing and carrying out research on extra-thin foils. Free-standing carbon membranes that are a millionth of a millimetre thin: these are a special research field of Professor Dr. Armin Gölzhäuser from Bielefeld University and his research group. The nanomembranes can serve as ultrafine filters and as a protective layer. The Bielefeld physicists have registered several patents for manufacturing such molecular foils. In their research, they are analysing which properties the nanomembranes possess – as a basis for future applications.
If used to filter water, the c...
