permselective: of, relating to, or being a semipermeable membrane that is also an ion exchanger. 2, record 2, English, - permselective%20membrane
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Selective permeability. Though the cell membrane resists the passage of ions, it nevertheless, being an imperfect insulator, permits a few to leak across. It does not permit each kind of ion to traverse it with equal ease. Hence it can be said that all membranes have selective permeability to ions. 3, record 2, English, - permselective%20membrane

L'emploi de ces membranes constituées de résines échangeuses d'ions agglomérées par un liant inerte (membranes hétérogènes) ou uniquement de polymères de condensation ou d'addition (membranes homogènes) a permis d'atteindre des rendements en courant de près de 100%, tout en réduisant l'importance des installations. 2, record 2, French, - membrane%20perms%C3%A9lective
