A membrane is a thin, typically planar structure or material that separates two environments. Because it sits between environments or phases and has a finite volume, it can be referred to as an interphase rather than an interface. Membranes selectively control mass transport between the phases or environments.

Biological membranes include:

plasma membrane and intracellular membrane s
mucous membrane

Artificial membrane s are used in:

Reverse osmosis
Ultrafiltration
Microfiltration
Pervaporation
Dialysis
Electrodialysis
Emulsion liquid membranes
Membrane-based solvent extraction
Membrane reactors
Gas permeation
supported liquid membranes

Proteins that are sufficiently embedded to remain with the membrane during the init	Membrane topologyIn biochemistry, the membrane topology of an transmembrane protein describes which portions of the amino-acid sequence of the protein lie within the plane of the surrounding lipid bilayer and which portions protrude into the watery environment on either s
Membrane paradigmThe membrane paradigm is a formalism used to study black holes which allows dynamo theory to be used to model the properties of the material falling into them. Because of the strong gravitational fields near the black hole, general relativity must be take	Membrane keyboardA membrane keyboard is a computer keyboard whose "keys" aren't separate, moving parts, as in most other types of keyboard, but rather just have their outlines and symbols printed on flat surface. Very little, if any, tactile feedback is felt when using su
