The use of membranes to separate and purify a variety of fluid mixtures         has been a fruitful area of research in recent years with many kinds of         systems becoming established commericially.  This kind of process               occurs in nature and in the human body.  In this research effort, an            additional dimension to the process is introduced by adding an electric         field across the membrane.  The purpose is to increase control and              selectivity of the species that pass through the membrane.  Research on         this phenomemon will help identify and optimize the mechanisms.  The            studies of polymer swelling should also contribute to polymer material          science.
