Product Overview
The same conductive porous membrane platform is offered with different surface-wettability characteristics, enabling straightforward comparison and selection for gas–liquid interface and electrolyte-wetting requirements.
DiffuLayer™ hydrophilic / hydrophobic conductive waterproof breathable membranes are a porous conductive functional-membrane series supplied for research experiments. Different surface-wettability states provide options for liquid wetting, gas transport, and gas–liquid interface control in electrochemical systems.
The hydrophilic version is better suited to studies requiring liquid contact, electrolyte wetting, or interfacial wetting. The hydrophobic version can be used where excessive liquid intrusion should be limited, gas-transport pathways maintained, or gas–liquid interface balance investigated.
The primary thickness is currently 0.30 ± 0.02 mm. Selected hydrophobic specifications are also available at 0.50 ± 0.05 mm. Multiple square and rectangular sheet sizes are offered.
How to Choose Hydrophilic vs. Hydrophobic
The primary difference is surface wetting behavior. Final selection should consider the electrolyte, gas-supply method, and electrode structure together.
Hydrophilic Conductive Breathable Membrane
Prioritizes Liquid WettingSuitable for studies focused on liquid contact, electrolyte wetting, electrode-surface wetting, and liquid-phase interfacial transport. It can also be used to compare how different wettability states affect electrochemical reaction interfaces.
Hydrophobic Conductive Waterproof Breathable Membrane
Prioritizes Gas PathwaysSuitable for studies focused on liquid blocking, maintaining gas pathways, stabilizing gas–liquid interfaces, and mass transport in porous electrodes. It can serve as a material option for experiments balancing gas diffusion and liquid wetting.

Handling & Technical Notes
Experimental Recommendation:For new electrolytes, gas electrodes, or special pressure conditions, evaluate a small sample quantity first. Verify wettability, gas transport, liquid penetration, electrical contact, and dimensional stability before selecting the final batch specification.
Cutting Recommendation:Use clean, sharp tools for cutting. Avoid creasing, surface contamination, or locally compacting the porous structure. For experiments requiring controlled gas–liquid interfaces, keep assembly orientation and compression conditions consistent among sample groups.
