Engineering Materials: Fundamentals, Fabrication, and Applications

Abdullah, Hairus; Widakdo, Januar

This book presents the physics, fabrication, transport phenomena, and applications of carbon-based membranes. Beginning with their historical development and fundamental properties, it examines the diverse types of carbon materials, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, and activated carbon, and their contributions to membrane performance. The text details synthesis techniques such as Chemical Vapor Deposition, pyrolysis, and sol-gel processing, as well as advanced pore engineering and surface modifications. Transport mechanisms for gases and liquids are discussed through theoretical, experimental, and simulation-based approaches. Applications in water purification, gas separation, carbon capture, energy storage, and biomedical systems are highlighted. The book concludes with perspectives on future trends, challenges, commercialization potential, and the role of AI in designing next-generation carbon-based membranes.
