The Membrane Engineering Salon is thought to be a place where professors constituting the Center for Membrane and Film Technology and members of companies and enterprises build an interactive study meeting where they interchange their opinion and information.
The Salon focuses on free discussion around established subjects. Through the activities of the Membrane Engineering salon, the MAFTECH center proposes and discovers new subjects to research. Members participation is free.
Is there any issue in your company that is neglected without knowing the cause?
Do you have any interest in performing fundamental research for industrial prosperity in methods to solve this issues collaboratively with the help of the university or other companies?
Our salon, containing a diversity of subjects according to the specialty of professors at the MAFTECH center, is opened at any time.
If you find any interesting subject, please let us discuss it by participating in our salon.
Right now, our salon advances on subjects related with membrane technology such as: Gas Barrier membranes, Organic thin membrane and Film coating, among others. So, please, participate so we can discuss together those subjects that you hope will be the focus of our research.
We are glad to help you build your network with companies encompassing many competitive research fields not only in the industry-academia environment.
Our salon activities are oriented only to members of the Organization for Film and Membrane Technology, If you are interested in the membrane Engineering salon please inform us by calling or writing a message to our offices:
