Background::
The challenges to nanoporous filtration membranes are small fluxes and
low membrane mechanical strengths.
Objective::
To introduce newly invented nanoporous filtration membranes with complex pores, improved
fluxes and mechanical strengths as registered in patents.
Methods::
The analytical results are presented for the addressed membranes.
Results::
The geometrical parameter values of the addressed membranes can be optimized for the highest fluxes.
Conclusion::
The overall performances of nanoporous filtration membranes with complex cylindrical
or/and conical pores can be significantly better than that of the conventional nanoporous filtration
membranes with single cylindrical or conical pores.
