• Gregor & - Water between Polymer Molecular Chains,

• Lonsdale – Solution Diffusion Process where the Solute and the
Solvent Dissolve in the Membrane Material and Diffuse
Through the Homogeneous Non-Porous Surface Layer.
• Anderson - Like Lonsdale, Selectivity is based on Partition
Coefficients of Solutes between Water and Membrane.
• Krasen, - Selectivity is based on the Relative Free Energy of the
Eisenman Interaction between Water and Membrane Sites.
