11. The idea is to encase pig islets in tiny semipermeable beads before implanting them in the gut. 12. Some commercial applications for ionomers are golf ball covers, semipermeable membranes, sealing tape and thermoplastic elastomers. 13. They function as a selective and semipermeable paracellular barrier between apical and basolateral compartments of the epithelial layer. 14. He also noted that a thin film of oil behaves as a semipermeable membrane, precisely as predicted. 15. Diffusion of crude natural gas through special semipermeable membranes and other barriers is another method to recover and purify helium. 16. A semipermeable membrane is necessary because it allows water through its membrane while preventing solutes from moving through its membrane. 17. Like all amphibians, the long-toed salamander has both an aquatic and terrestrial life transition and semipermeable skin. 18. Reverse osmosis systems used pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane; the tiny openings in the membrane separate contaminants. 19. Vaccinated health care workers will wear special semipermeable bandages at work, because they are better than gauze at preventing transmission. 20. The diaper can absorb a huge amount of water by osmosis, in which the semipermeable membrane is the polymer itself.
