LIQUID TRANSPORT MEMBRANE

摘要

A liquid transport membrane, including a porous layer (20) having conductive electrodes (22) on the opposite surfaces arranged as to generate an electric field that induces liquid transport across the membrane characterized by humidity or temperature sensors, or by a link to an external supply or controller, or optionally with a plurality of electric contact points. The electrodes may be realized by conductive polymers. The membranes could also be included in a piece of textile in a single active surface or in a plurality of active patches, independently supplied and controlled.
