Conventional membranes provide separation of selective species of molecules from a mixture based on pressure driving force. But sophisticated applications require functional membranes that can provide a basis for a chemical reaction as well as serve their primary purpose of separation based on size and affinity. This paper is a review of membranes that have been applied to challenging applications like simultaneous chemical reaction and separation of products. The scope of this paper is polymeric, metallic, ceramic membranes and pervaporation.
