Baker \u003c\/b\u003ereceived his doctorate in physical chemistry in 1966 from Imperial College, London. In 1982, following industrial appointments at Amicon and Alza, and the co-founding of Bend Research, Dr. Baker founded his second company, MTR, where he served as president for 25 years. In 2007, Dr. Baker stepped aside as MTR’s president, but remains active as Chief Scientist and a member of the Board of Directors. He is heavily engaged in MTR’s ongoing development and commercialization of membrane-based carbon capture.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInternationally acknowledged text on separation membrane technology, presenting current theory and practice, plus manufacturing and applications\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4th Edition of \u003ci\u003eMembrane Technology and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e presents an authoritative, up-to-date overview of separation membranes, their theoretical underpinnings, manufacture, and use, beginning with a series of general chapters on membrane preparation, transport theory, and concentration polarization, then surveying the major areas of membrane application in separate chapters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a readily accessible style, each chapter offers a thorough treatment of its subject, from historical and theoretical backgrounds through to current and potential applications.
