title: Ceramic membranes for separation of proteins and DNA through in situ growth of alumina nanofibres inside porous substrates.
abstract: Ceramic membranes were fabricated by in situ synthesis of alumina nanofibres in the pores of an alumina support as a separation layer, and exhibited a high permeation selectivity for bovine serum albumin relative to bovine hemoglobin (over 60 times) and can effectively retain DNA molecules at high fluxes.
