| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The fabrication method of defect-free biomimetic reverse osmosis (RO) membranes with high water permeability and stability have been established. Simple structural biological molecules, gramicidin A or amphotericin B, were used as water channel. A supported lipid bilayer (SLB) containing these water channel molecules were formed onto a porous substrate with well-controlled surface structure and evaluated as RO membranes. The formed SLB had high stability against applied pressure and showed higher water permeability than the previously reported biomimetic RO membranes and commercial membranes.
