Abstract
Part I of this review is devoted to a discussion of the basic physical processes involved in the flow of materials through membranes, especially porous membranes. The discussion is limited to processes which are considered to be of importance in the passage of molecules through capillary walls, omitting such factors as electrostatic charge, electro-osmosis, or the migration of ions in potential fields which have no known representation in the capillaries. In Part II some quantitative aspects of capillary permeability are reviewed and the data analyzed in terms of the mechanisms discussed in Part I, leading to a descr. of molecular flow through capillary walls in terms of the properties of the flowing molecules on the one hand, and the structure of the capillary wall on the other.
