The membrane is a composite of multiple layers: 1) a soft polydimethylsiloxane layer for transfer printing; 2) a lead zirconate titanate (PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3) layer for actuation; 3) metal layers for ...

The nanoconfinement was found to be limited to the 1.5 μm-thick γ-alumina supporting layer at maximum, and the resulting hybrid PI/ceramic membranes showed stable performance in a variety of solvents.

However, nanosecond MD simulation studies could not observe any escape events; recent findings even suggested that the long-range motion in phospholipid membranes on short time scales is not diffusive ...
