News Finding: "The membrane filter could potentially prevent germs, dust, or allergens from reaching an open wound, while still allowing a doctor to perform surgery safely," Wong said.
Paper Finding: This further highlights the fact that the particle separation physics of a liquid membrane are different from those of a solid membrane.
News Context: Not only could the membrane serve as a particle barrier, but the self-healing properties would also allow medical devices such as surgical tools to pass through while contaminates stay out. "The membrane filter could potentially prevent germs, dust, or allergens from reaching an open wound, while still allowing a doctor to perform surgery safely," Wong said. "This membrane could make this possible."
Paper Context: 3 may not be applicable when aggregation of smaller particles occurs, creating an effectively large particle, which could lead to F g > F g ). This further highlights the fact that the particle separation physics of a liquid membrane are different from those of a solid membrane. Therefore, E* (that is, Eq.
