英文摘要：

It was of interdisciplinary interest for possible applications of carbon nanotubes, such as separation membranes, nano-conduits for flow of low-surface-tension fluids, reversible switching of molecular and ionic transport because of their unique structure and properties. With our work in preparation of carbon nanotube-based organic-inorganic hybrid membranes, current research progress of carbon nanotubes for membrane materials and organic-inorganic hybrid membranes in gas separation, reverse osmosis desalination, pervaporation, ultrafiltration were reviewed in detail. Furthermore,existing problems and further research trends were discussed.
