In this episode, we present our breakthrough in membrane distillation technology — zwitterionic Janus membranes that simultaneously resist wetting and fouling. We discuss the motivation, the layer-by-layer coating of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate-co-acrylic acid), enhanced vapor flux, and successful application to commercial membranes.
