noteworthy and though its feasibility has been demonstrated theoretically 38,39 , it still remains a challengeto be practically validated.We studied the self-healing ability of the membranes by damaging them with a needle leaving a rmeation experiments (Figure –2.17a). From the flux curves thus obtained, water flow resistance values were calculated at variouspressures (Figure – 2.17 b, c, d, e, f, g and h).Figure – 2.17: Study of self-healing of the membranes by following the fluid flow resistance changes, a) A generalchange and evolution in flux before (blue), after perforation (red) and healed (green) membrane, b-h)the fluid flow64
